Approaching his ninth NFL season, the recently re-signed Ziggy Hood is currently the veteran leader on a defensive line that has gotten younger in recent weeks.
Despite just recently turning 30 years old, Washington Redskins defensive end Ziggy Hood feels like the “old man” along a defensive line that has seen its average age dip this offseason.
With Chris Baker departing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Ricky Jean Francois released on March 15 and the soon-to-be 34-year-old Kedric Golston still a free agent, Hood is the group’s elder statesman.
