Click to view slideshow.
It recently came to my attention, via an interview on AM 1620 in Omaha, that some think Redskins defensive Adam Carriker looks like the Russian fighter ‘Ivan Drago’ from Rocky IV, played by Swedish actor Dolph Lundgren.
Certainly both are physical specimens, with Lungren standing 6-6, 250 pounds in his Rocky-prime. Carriker is also 6-6, and his NFL...

Redskins defensive end Adam Carriker is widely considered to be one of the strongest men on the team. His role on the defensive line is to be the grizzly bear that ties up two blockers so the linebackers can make plays, or the rhino that bursts through the line and takes down the quarterback.

What’s this? An article about a Redskins defensive linemen not named Albert Haynesworth? Yes sir!
