REDSKINS SELECT SEVEN PLAYERS IN 2013 NFL DRAFT
LOUDOUN COUNTY, Va. – The Washington Redskins finalized their 2013 NFL Draft class on Saturday, selecting seven players over three days, including three defensive backs – the most since selecting three defensive backs in the 2008 NFL Draft. The team’s 2013 draft class is as follows:
ROUND (PICK) PLAYER SCHOOL
2 (51) CB David Amerson North Carolina State
3 (85) TE Jordan Reed Florida
4 (119) S Phillip Thomas Fresno State
5 (154) RB Chris Thompson Florida State
5 (162) LB Brandon Jenkins Florida State
6 (191) S Bacarri Rambo Georgia
7 (228) RB Jawan Jamison Rutgers
NOTES ON REDSKINS OVERALL DRAFT
• With seven selections, the Redskins made at least seven picks for the ninth time since the institution of the seven-round draft in 1994. This is the first time in that timeframe in which the Redskins have picked at least seven in three consecutive years.
• Washington has now selected 28 players in the past three drafts, the most of any three-year period in team history since the institution of the seven-round format. The team had previously posted a three-year total of 27 from 2010-12. The 28 picks by the Redskins in the past three seasons are the most since selecting 29 players from 1991-93, which included two 12-round drafts and one eight-round draft.
• The Redskins selected two players who led the Football Bowl Subdivision in interceptions over the past two seasons (David Amerson, 13 in 2011; Phillip Thomas, eight in 2012). Safety Bacarri Rambo was second in the FBS in interceptions in 2011 with eight.
• This is the second time in three years that the Redskins have selected three players who played collegiately in the state of Florida (2011 – WR Leonard Hankerson, OL Maurice Hurt, LB Markus White).
• This is the 15th time in the Common Draft era (since 1967) that the Redskins have selected college teammates in a draft class (1969, 1970, 1974, 1975, 1981, 1982, 1984, 1988, 1992, 1993, 2002, 2005, 2011, 2012, 2013). This is the fifth time that this has happened since the NFL instituted the seven-round format in 1994.
• The Redskins have selected a set of college teammates in three consecutive years for the first time in the Common Draft era (2013: RB Chris Thompson, LB Brandon Jenkins – Florida State; 2012: G Josh LeRibeus, CB Richard Crawford – SMU; 2012: G Adam Gettis, S Jordan Bernstine – Iowa; 2011: RB Roy Helu, Jr., S DeJon Gomes, WR Niles Paul – Nebraska).
• This is the first time in the Shanahan/Allen era that the Redskins did not make a draft-day trade.
• This is the first time since 2003-05 a Mike Shanahan-coached team has selected five running backs in a three-year span (2011 – Roy Helu, Jr., Evan Royster; 2012 – Alfred Morris; 2013 – Chris Thompson, Jawan Jamison).
NOTES ON THE SELECTION OF DAVID AMERSON
• The selection marks the earliest the Redskins have taken a defensive back since selecting safety LaRon Landry out of LSU with the sixth overall pick in the 2006 NFL Draft. It marks the earliest the team has taken a cornerback since selecting Carlos Rogers out of Auburn with the ninth overall pick in the 2005 NFL Draft.
• The selection marks the earliest a Shanahan-coached team has taken a defensive back since selecting cornerback Willie Middlebrooks out of Minnesota with the No. 24 overall pick in the 2001 NFL Draft as head coach of the Denver Broncos.
• Amerson is the sixth defensive back selected by a Shanahan-coached team in the first 51 picks of a draft, joining Middlebrooks, Kenoy Kennedy (No. 45, DEN 2000), Deltha O’Neal (No. 15, DEN 2000), Tory James (No. 44, DEN 1996) and Terry McDaniel (No. 9, LA Raiders 1988).
• Amerson is the seventh player from NC State selected by the Redskins all-time and the second in the Common Draft era. Below are the six previous NC State products drafted by the Redskins:
Year Rd. Pick Pos. Player

1958 11 126 T Darrell Dess
1960 18 208 G John Lawrence
2000 3 64 DB Lloyd Harrison

• Amerson shares his draft selection in common with Redskins Defensive Coordinator Jim Haslett, who was selected with the No. 51 overall selection in the 1979 NFL Draft.
NOTES ON THE SELECTION OF JORDAN REED
• The selection marks the earliest the Redskins have taken a tight end since selecting Fred Davis out of USC with the No. 48 overall pick in the 2008 NFL Draft. He is the first college tight end selected by the Redskins in the Shanahan era.
• Reed is the second tight end selected by the Redskins in the third round all-time, joining Utah State’s Chris Cooley, the team’s all-time leader in receptions by a tight end, who was selected by Washington with the No. 81 overall pick in the 2004 NFL Draft.
• Reed is the 12th player from the University of Florida selected by the Redskins all-time and the fifth Gator selected by the Redskins in the Common Draft era.
