The Washington Redskins current defensive backs coach, Torrian Gray, was previously employed at Virginia Tech, coaching former Washington Redskins defensive backs like Kendall Fuller and Kyshoen Jarrett. With their first pick in Round 7, the Washington Redskins selected another former student of Gray with the Hokies: Cornerback Greg Stroman.
Stroman joins college team mate Tim Settle in this draft class, who went to the Washington Redskins with their fifth-round pick. The Washington Redskins needed depth at the cornerback position, and Greg Stroman can give them that and more. Stroman is undersized at 5-foot-11, 186, but he’s mobile and agile in coverage.
