Will Compton on leaving Redskins: ‘This was hard as hell’

With Will Compton joining the Tennessee Titans, the former Washington Redskins linebacker wanted to make it clear — the decision wasn’t easy.

“Before I get all amped, I really want y’all to know this was also hard as hell,” he tweeted Monday.

Compton spent five seasons with the Redskins, latching on as an undrafted free agent. He developed and eventually became a starter.

Before I get all amped, I really want y’all to know this was also hard as hell

I loved playing for the @Redskins and the hardest part was leaving my teammates, coaches, training staff, and strength staff

It’s been such a family for me and I’m going to truly miss everyone — Will Compton (@_willcompton) April 2, 2018

I love y’all man.
