LEESBURG, Va. — Washington Redskins linebacker Ryan Kerrigan was front and center Monday afternoon, cracking jokes from a balcony as dozens of people filed into golf carts in the loading area below.
Kerrigan had attended the annual Leukemia Golf Classic every year since being drafted by the Redskins in 2011, but this time, the event bore his name. He raced from an early-morning workout at Redskins Park to the Lansdowne Resort, shaking hands with guests and spending time with 9-year-old Anthony Mewborn, a leukemia survivor who has been chemo-free for a year.
