Redskins get USF's Austin Reiter in the seventh round of 2015 NFL draft

Shortly after the beginning of the seventh round, South Florida center Austin Reiter received a call from Washington Redskins coach Jay Gruden.

“Honestly,” Reiter said. “What a dream come true.”

The Redskins used their final pick of the 2015 NFL draft, the 222nd overall selection, to add Reiter, who missed only one snap during his senior season with the Bulls. He started 36 games over three years at South Florida and prides himself on his consistent approach to the game.

“I think that is extremely important at my position,” Reiter said.
