We might as well start calling them the Washington Crimsonskins.
The Redskins drafted linebacker Shaun Dion Hamilton in the sixth round of the NFL draft Saturday, and get this — Hamilton went to Alabama.
Washington has now drafted four players from Alabama in the last two years. They took Alabama defensive tackle Da’Ron Payne in the first round. In 2017, they drafted Jonathan Allen and Ryan Anderson.
Hamilton, a 6-foot, 228-pound linebacker, suffered two serious knee injuries in college. During his junior year, he tore his right ACL. The following season, he fractured his right knee cap.
