Nose tackle Terrance Knighton joined the Washington Redskins in March after two seasons with the Denver Broncos and was part of the team’s overhaul of its defensive line. Knighton, 29, discusses what it’s been like to make it to the NFL and to join his third team.
What was the toughest part of the offseason?
A: This being my seventh year, and I feel like I’ve played a lot of great football. Everybody wants that big contract, and I didn’t get that. I humbled myself. Sometimes things are out of your control, and you try not to stress about it, but I’m just happy to have the opportunity to play in the NFL and am blessed to be still living the dream.
