The Washington Redskins signed 11 undrafted free agents (they have two more they will sign and announce Friday). Here's a snapshot look at each player:
WR Reggie Bell, San Diego. He was productive in college, but he's not a burner having run the 40-yard dash at his pro day in 4.6 seconds. At 5-foot-11 and with that speed, he's probably best suited for the slot. San Diego is part of the Football Championship Subdivision (formerly 1-AA). He ranks top 10 in three categories on the Toreros all-time list: seventh in receiving yards (2,725), eighth in receptions (171), and ninth in touchdown receptions (24).
WR Tony Jones, Northwestern. Ended his career with 130 receptions, 1,445 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns. He caught 35 passes for 323 yards and a touchdown last season. The 5-11 Jones is considered fast but with unreliable hands. Jones returned 13 punts in college, one for a 64-yard touchdown.
WR Tyler Rutenbeck, Dubuque. Rutenbeck had a stellar career at Division III Duboque. The Iowa native was an All-American as a junior. He finished his career as the school's all-time touchdown receptions leader (42) and fourth in receptions (163). He was third in receiving yards (2,715) and yards per catch (16.7). He attended the same high school as former Redskins quarterback Sage Rosenfels.
TE Devin Mahina, BYU. He has good height at 6-6, but could probably add weight (250 pounds). BYU does not use its tight ends much in the passing game so he finished his four-year career with 46 receptions for 554 yards and five touchdowns. He ran the 40-yard dash in 4.82 seconds at his pro day. The Ontario, California native served his Mormon mission in Antananarivo, Madagascar and his college bio said he speaks Malagasy.
RB Trey Williams, Texas A&M. He's small at 5-7, 190 pounds, but has excellent speed (4.49 in the 40). He was part of A&M's running backs by committee approach, limiting his opportunities. Last season, he led the Aggies with 560 yards on 81 carries. For his career, he carried 204 times for 1,343 yards and 18 touchdowns. He caught 38 passes for 337 yards and a score. Williams also returned 70 kickoffs, averaging 24.1 yards per runback (with no touchdowns). The knock on him: His ability to pick up the mental aspects of the game and his pass protection skills.
QB Connor Halliday, Washington State. At 6-3, 204 pounds he must get bigger to play in the NFL. He's also coming from a spread system. So a year of developing on the practice squad would be beneficial. Halliday is said to have a strong arm and is willing to take chances down the field -- that can be good and bad. He missed the final three games in 2014 because of a broken ankle. For his career, Halliday completed 1,014 of 1,634 passes for 11,308 yards, 90 touchdowns and 50 interceptions.
DE Corey Crawford, Clemson. At 6-5, 299 pounds he has the size to play along the line. He's not fast -- 5.01 seconds in the 40-yard dash -- but he does offer some pass-rush ability because of his power. He was much better as a junior than as a senior. In 2013, he recorded 52 tackles, 10.5 for a loss. He also had 16 quarterback pressures -- four more than teammate Vic Beasley. Last season, Crawford recorded 23 tackles.
T Brey Cook, Arkansas. He has good size at 6-5, 317 pounds. Before the draft some analysts thought because of his frame he might be able to slide to guard, which he played some in college (four starts as a junior). Cook started all 13 games at right tackle last season. He is considered a strong player, but needs some work in protection, even if he slides inside.
ILB Dyshawn Davis, Syracuse. At 212 pounds, he's small for an inside linebacker. He played in 49 games for Syracuse, recording 232 tackles with 37.5 for a loss. He was timed in the 40-yard dash at 4.67 seconds.
ILB Terrance Plummer, Central Florida. Plummer was not invited to the combine, but he trained hard in the offseason, apparently losing 14 pounds (he's 6-2, 236 pounds). He was considered an excellent player versus the run in college, but needed work in the pass game. So the lost weight might help with his quickness. Last season he led UCF with 99 tackles, including 13 for a loss and four sacks. He was the defensive MVP of the Fiesta Bowl after the 2013 season and was voted a team captain by his teammates. He was named the team's most valuable player last season.
K Ty Long, Alabama-Birmingham. He started strong, making 30-of-36 field goal attempts in his first two seasons. But in the last two he made a combined 29-of-41. He was 13-of-17 this past season, with three misses from 40 yards or longer. In 2013, five of his misses were from 47 yards or longer.
