ITI: Who are the guys that don’t get the national attention that Eagles fans need to know?

Camenker: One guy to keep an eye on is seventh-round rookie Jimmy Moreland. The slot cornerback went to James Madison University and has proven to be a big-time ballhawk in training camp and in the preseason. He could end up starting for the Redskins with Fabian Moreau out and might be able to generate some splash plays.

Elsewhere, the Redskins defensive line is very underrated and could be one of the best units in all of football, in particular, former Alabama Crimson Tide first-round picks, Jonathan Allen and Daron Payne. Both are both excellent all-around players. Allen quietly had eight sacks last year while Payne was able to notch five sacks and 56 tackles, big numbers for a nose tackle.

They could have the potential to wreak havoc and both have drawn rave reviews this offseason.
