ASHBURN, Va. – The move energized DeAngelo Hall in a way he didn’t expect. The Washington Redskins safety – and former Pro Bowl cornerback – wakes up feeling something he didn’t expect: excitement.
He was coming off an Achilles injury and dealing with a sprained toe that robbed him of some explosiveness. So, at 32, switching to safety was a natural move.
“I wake up every day excited to come to practice,” Hall said. “I can’t say I was so excited a year or two ago playing corner. It got a little old and monotonous, so playing safety rejuvenated me and I’m enjoying it.
