Ahead of the start of the 2016 season, Su’a Cravens was part of a promising Washington Redskins draft class that included Josh Doctson, Kendall Fuller, and others. He was slated to be a hybrid chess piece for the team’s defense.
But early in the 2016 season, a concussion suffered against the Browns set off a chain of events that spanned almost two years, and ended with Cravens being traded to the Denver Broncos in exchange for a fifth-round pick and a swap of fourth-round picks.
There was never absolute clarity in the case of Cravens, but fault for the fallout between Cravens and the Redskins could not be denied for either side.
