Redskins Sign RG Will Whitticker (http://www.chronicle-tribune.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070106/SPORTS/701060326/1006)
Anyone know anything about him? And please let's not get all worked up about this. It's a low risk off-season move that could result in nothing. But he's young and big (6'5", 338 lbs.) and made the Fox Sports All Rooke Team in 2005, so it looks like he could be some proimsing depth. I am just curious if anyone has any more details on him.

Not familiar with him, but hopefully he'll add some depth to an already strong O-Line. I hope we can add some depth on that D-Line as well, I hope DT Alan Branch will be taken with that sixth pick, then add Clements and some other solid players to the secondary.

"There were many factors that played into the Packers dramatic drop from 3 time defending Northern Division Champions to cellar-dwellers in 2005. One of the most dramatic factors was the team's failure to field a pair of suitable guards after waving goodbye to 2 talented long time veterans, Marco Rivera and Mike Wahle.
GM Ted Thompson swung and missed at left guard with FA Adrian Klemm and Scott Wells, and swung and whiffed again at right guard with rookie 7th Rd. draft pick Will Whitticker[.] ... The best news in this story is that unlike desperation rookie starter Will Whitticker, all three of these rookie players have great upside potential."

Clearly a long shot, but who knows.
