Young Guns Coming Through for Redskins
posted 5:14 am Thu December 27, 2007 - Ashburn, Va.
Stephon Heyer knew what scouts said about him back in July.
Undrafted rookie from Maryland. Has potential, but raw. Outside shot at making team. Now, as December comes to an end, Heyer is the right tackle for the Washington Redskins. And his team is on the cusp of a playoff berth.
Heyer is typical of the Redskins. They have a cast of players with less than two years of experience filling key roles. That's mostly because of injuries but occasionally because the position was won outright from a veteran.
