Ernst Brun, a rookie out of Iowa State.
The Washington Redskins on Sunday began to address the depth at their tight end position that has been depleted by injuries, announcing the signing of rookie Ernst Brun.
In corresponding moves, the team placed tight ends Niles Paul and Logan Paulsen on Injured-Reserve, and also waived/injured running back Silas Redd Jr.
Brun, who tried out with the team Sunday and then signed the same day, is an Iowa State product. From 2011-13, the 6-foot-3, 251-pound Brun caught 32 passes for 377 yards and six receiving touchdowns for the Cyclones.
