ASHBURN, Va. -- David Bruton Jr. got the ring; now he wants something else he’s never had: a full-time starting job. That’s why the safety signed with the Washington Redskins this offseason.
He hasn’t won any job yet -- it’s still June after all -- though he is working with the starters ahead of Duke Ihenacho, his main competition. Ihenacho is coming off two seasons ended early by injuries, limiting him to 12 snaps.
But this is Bruton’s best shot to show he’s not a part-time player. In Denver, Bruton was a special teams ace.
