In Role Of Enforcer, D.J. Swearinger Ready To Earn Respect

Bringing a big-hit mentality with him to the Redskins, D.J. Swearinger says he'll give it his all every play for a defensive backfield that also includes high school teammate Josh Norman.

Even though D.J. Swearinger has played for three different teams during his first four NFL seasons, the safety always thought about one day potentially playing for the same team that Sean Taylor played for during his time in the NFL.

That dream became a reality on Friday, as the Washington Redskins announced that they have signed Swearinger.
