The Redskins 2018 group of undrafted free agents is highlighted by Virginia safety Quin Blanding, who was named first-team all-ACC the last two seasons, and who earned defensive rookie of the year honors in 2014.
The 6-foot-2, 207-pounder was a five-star recruit coming out of high school, and was named a third-team all-American by the Associated Press last season. He ranked No. 2 for the Cavaliers with 137 tackles in 2017, tied for a team high in interceptions (four) and had 3 1/2 tackles for loss.
So, with such an impressive pedigree, why didn’t Blanding get drafted in April?
