Washington Redskins linebackers London Fletcher and Kerrigan will head to the Pro Bowl as replacements for Super Bowl-bound San Francisco 49ers linebackers Patrick Willis and Aldon Smith.|||||||
The 37-year-old Fletcher is going to his fourth consecutive Pro Bowl. Kerrigan, a second-year player, gets his first trip to the exhibition game. Their additions give the Redskins five Pro Bowl selections for the first time since 1996. They join rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III, who will miss the Pro Bowl after knee surgery, left tackle Trent Williams and special teamer Lorenzo Alexander.
Mike Shanahan upgraded a defense that was a yearlong embarrassment by selecting Ryan Kerrigan of Purdue with the 16th overall selection Thursday night in the NFL draft.|||||||
Kerrigan was a defensive end in college, but he'll be an outside linebacker in Washington. The Redskins switched to a 3-4 scheme last year and didn't have the personnel to pull it off - the talents of Albert Haynesworth and Andre Carter essentially went to waste. Kerrigan will play opposite two-time Pro Bowl linebacker Brian Orakpo, giving the Redskins an imposing tandem threat to the quarterback.
