After not playing last season, defensive lineman Montori Hughes has been eagerly awaiting his chance to get back on the field and be a reliable presence in the middle for the Redskins.
It only makes sense that Montori Hughes has been following the lead of Ziggy Hood in the Redskins locker room over the last several weeks.
Hood, like Hughes did this past January, signed a Reserve/Future contract with the team in 2016, playing his way into the defensive line rotation that year. His veteran presence and quality on the interior of the line was enough for Washington to hand him a new contract before the start of last year.
