The Washington Redskins spent a fifth-round pick on Khaleke Hudson. Here’s why he could become the team’s version of Matthew Slater.

During the fifth round of the 2020 NFL Draft, the Washington Redskins had two selections. The first one they used on Keith Ismael. The former San Diego State Aztec figures to be a backup center during his first season and may get a chance to take over as a starter once Chase Roullier hits free agency in 2021.
