Rising up to becoming a full-time starter in 2015, Will Compton continues to grow entering his fourth NFL season. He's also more of a vocal presence, something that has always come natural to him.
On May 2, 2013, the Washington Redskins announced the signing of 12 college free agents. Of those 12, only two are currently on an NFL roster: Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Nick Williams and Redskins linebacker Will Compton.
While Williams is deep on the Falcons’ roster, Compton has risen from undrafted free agent to practice squad member to now in line not only to be a starter, but the defense’s vocal leader.
