Chris Horton having impressive camp

Matt Mosley over at the WWL designated former Bruin standout as the "Newcomer to Watch" for the Washington Redskins this year

Newcomer to watch

If you watched the Hall of Fame Game, you kept seeing No. 48 come across your screen. In the first few minutes of the game, seventh-round rookie Chris Horton fielded an onside kick and sacked Colts quarterback Jim Sorgi. He's a safety out of UCLA, but Horton will probably make his biggest impact on special teams.

Cerrato said that Horton has been showing up on film ever since the beginning of camp. "He's constantly around the ball," he said.

Its tough for 7th rounders to make a team, but performing on special teams and showing up on film is a great way to impress the coaches. Here's hoping that Horton makes the team and is a contributor to an up and coming Redskins' team.

I'm amazed

that he only went in the seventh round. Man our team really fell far the last few years…

It's the Lavin effect

Our football team (i.e. coaching staff) failed to develop a lot of talented athletes during the last few years. Don’t be surprised when guys like Chris Horton really progress and fluorish under NFL coaching and guidance. Watch Brandon Breazell do the same thing.

Breazell was at the first two days of practice

and he said that he hurt his knee. It’s a partially torn PCL and a slight tear to his ACL I believe (but I’m not 100% sure if that’s what he said). I don’t think we’ll see him this season, but he said he still plans on playing in the future.
