Clarke County Sports salutes Ryan Kerrigan, the Washington Football Team All Time Sack Leader
LANDOVER, Md.- Ryan Kerrigan became the Washington Football Teams All Time Leader in Sacks on September 13, 2020 at FedEx Field. Kerrigan had two sacks of the Philadelphia Eagles Carson Wentz.
Kerrigan tied and then passed longtime Washington Legend Dexter Manley to take over the franchise record, a record that has held for thirty years and will most likely last for years to come.
Clarke County Sports is proud to present a photo presentation from our archives spanning 2012-2019.

Kicking Unit Remains a Solid Rock for Washington

Nick Sundberg, the Washington Football teams long snapper from California has been a starter from day one and has been one of the most consistent long snappers in the NFL and also one of the most generous players in the league when it comes to donating his time and effort to multiple charitable foundations and was last years representative from Washington for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award.
Match that up with the fact Sundberg has been working punter Tress Way for 7 seasons and kicker Dustin Hopkins for 6 seasons, the 24 years of NFL experience together only gets better with time.

Hopkins out of Florida State joined the Redskins in 2015 after being selected by the Buffalo Bills. Hopkins has been a steady force in both scoring and kick offs.
Tress Way was drafted by Washington in 2014 and has played every game (96) since joining the team and was a Pro bowl selection for Washington last year.

Washington Football Team releases Adrian Peterson
ASHBURN, Va.- The Washington Football Team announced this morning that they were releasing future Hall of Famer Adrian Peterson.
"First off made this decision today because Adrian deserves his day." Head Coach Ron Rivera said, "This is a first ballot Hall of Famer, you know for him to be treated any other way I was gonna struggle with that. Really late yesterday we came to the conclusion that this was the direction we were gonna head.This is not about what he [Peterson] hasn't done or anything like that, it's about what this group of backs has shown us especially in the way this offense is headed."

Peterson has made no a qualms about wanting to play another 5 seasons but was very humble in his response to the team after being told the news. He obviously did not fit into Rivera's rebuilding plan and was released in time that he could be signed with another team.
