Defensive coordinator Jimmy Lake on freshmen Dominique Hampton, Kyler Gordon and Julius Irvin: "We know athletically those guys can play right now."
On a cornerback blitz, Kyler Gordon broke free into the backfield, untouched and unseen by anyone on the offense.
In a game situation, Gordon would have had free rein to blast the quarterback with a blind-sided hit. This wasn’t a game. It was Day 10 of Washington fall camp, and the play happened during a two-hand-touch team period, and, well, everyone knows quarterbacks are never to be hit in practice anyway.
So just before he would have hit freshman Colson Yankoff on Monday afternoon, Gordon got creative.
