Will Blackmon, Redskins' 'Jack Of All Trades'

Re-joining the Redskins after a surprise 2015 season, veteran cornerback Will Blackmon could extend his duties on defense past just playing on the outside in 2016.

Will Blackmon wanted to find somewhere to call home for more than a handful of months.

Originally drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the fourth round of the 2006 NFL Draft, Blackmon has spent time with the New York Giants, Jacksonville Jaguars and had two different stints with the Seattle Seahawks, along with a brief stint for the Arena Football League’s Arizona Rattlers.

Blackmon signed with the Redskins last September, appearing in 15 games with 10 starts.
