Will Compton Plans To Return, Excited For Next Year's Growth

Redskins linebacker Will Compton was named a defensive captain in 2016, and while the defense struggled as a whole, he made strides in his first full year as a starter.

Will Compton finished his first year as the full time starter at inside linebacker for the Washington Redskins. Going undrafted out of Nebraska has led Compton to play with a chip on his shoulder and his hard work is starting to pay off.

The pending restricted free agent wants to return to Washington healthy and better than the previous year.
