RICHMOND — Niles Paul is relishing every moment at the Washington Redskins’ training camp facility. He is often one of the first players on the field for practice and always acknowledges the raucous cheers from the crowd, even when it looks as if he’s hiding behind the smoky visor clipped to his facemask.
The tight end’s competitiveness has been obvious, most notably when the 6-foot-1, 242-pound Paul stiff-armed inside linebacker Martrell Spaight to the ground after making a tightly-contested catch last Saturday. Spaight wasn’t all too pleased and a small skirmish ensued, but the two made peace shortly after.
