Let's rewind four weeks to Nov. 24. It's Thanksgiving, which means the nation's casual sports fans are watching NFL football. The Dallas Cowboys are hosting the Washington Redskins in a crucial, highly rated NFC East tilt.
Many of those casual fans haven't watched a Redskins game this season. They're familiar with quarterback Kirk Cousins and veteran wide receivers DeSean Jackson and Pierre Garcon, maybe even star left tackle Trent Williams. That might be it.
It's late in the first quarter. Another guy—not Jackson, not Garcon—sprints at roadrunner speed from the right slot, past a blitzing defensive back and two linebackers on a crossing pattern.
