RICHMOND — After swinging his hands through the air like imaginary blades, Washington Redskins fullback Darrel Young let out a yelp, then shot a quick flex of his biceps. He had just run through the hand-speed drill with assistant strength and conditioning coach Joe Kim in the heat, a drill that had become one of the smile-inducing parts during the monotony of training camp.
Young isn’t quite sure why he does the drill. It was explained to him that it can help during special teams when an opponent is trying to get their hands on him.
