With Hard Earned Starting Spot, Ziggy Hood Ready To Face Old Team

Ziggy Hood

When the Washington Redskins decided to sign veteran defensive end Ziggy Hood in March, they weren’t exactly sure what sort of player they were getting.

For the first five seasons of his career, Hood appeared in every single regular season game for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

During the frenzy of 2014 free agency, Hood left Pittsburgh to sign a long-term deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars, a team looking for a consistent veteran presence like Hood.

Hood once again appeared in all 16 regular season games with his new team, collecting 24 tackles and a sack.
