Former Jacksonville Jaguars coach Gus Bradley has emerged as a leading candidate to the fill the Redskins’ vacancy at defensive coordinator. Bradley already has at least one ally within the organization: former Jaguar and current Redskins safety Will Blackmon.
“I played for Gus [Bradley] in Jacksonville and worked out for him when he was in Seattle,” Blackmon said in an interview with NFL.com’s Brooke Cersosimo. “He’s had the most recent success in terms of building solid defenses.”
Blackmon played most of his downs as the Redskins’ strong safety this year, a role the Jaguars also asked him to play.
