ASHBURN — Darrel Young has experienced quite a bit since he signed with the Washington Redskins as an undrafted free agent linebacker from Villanova in 2009.
Young was cut from the practice squad that year and returned in 2010. He converted to fullback and over the years would emerge as a reliable bulldozer for running back Alfred Morris, most notably during Morris’ 2012 record-setting rookie season.
He has been part of that improbable postseason run in 2012, a dismal 3-13 season a year later and, most recently, last Sunday’s 35-18 loss to the Green Bay Packers in the wild-card round of the playoffs.
