Quinton Dunbar has officially made the transition from wide receiver to cornerback and that could be his ticket to a roster spot.
Former Florida Gators wide receiver Quinton Dunbar has now switched positions and can possibly make the team as a cornerback. One thing that Dunbar has going for him is his hands. Being a wide receiver has afforded him the ability to do things like high point the ball at the point of attack and use his offensive mindset as a weapon on the defensive side. He switched positions about a week before the team's first preseason game and head coach Jay Gruden was impressed with how he did in practice:
"We put him out there on 1-on-1s on receivers and he played pretty dang good," Redskins head coach Jay Gruden said of Dunbar's switch to cornerback.
