One bright spot for the Redskins this preseason has been nose tackle Phil Taylor. My fellow Riggo’s Rag writer Ian Cummings wrote about Taylor being one of the more under-the-radar signings earlier this offseason. The former first-round round pick has looked solid throughout training camp and had dominant outings in consecutive weeks of the preseason versus Baltimore and Green Bay.
It has been quite the journey for the former Baylor standout. Drafted No. 21 overall by the Cleveland Browns in 2011, Taylor started all 16 games that season posting 59 tackles and four sacks.
