Safeties

  • Landon Collins
  • Montae Nicholson
  • Deshazor Everett
  • Troy Apke

The Redskins made Landon Collins one of the highest-paid safeties in league history this offseason. He is a good leader who is a physical presence on the backend of the defense. Nicholson is a solid young player to start alongside Collins. Everett is solid in coverage and can provide depth at safety as well as at cornerback. Apke is athletic and fast who makes most of his contributions on Special Teams while providing extra depth at safety.

Player to watch: JoJo McIntosh

Special Teams

  • Dustin Hopkins
  • Tress Way
  • Nick Sundberg

Hopkins, Way, and Sunberg make up one of the more underrated, solid special teams units in the NFL.
