RYAN KERRIGAN RUMORS

Washington’s Linebacker tandem, Brain Orakpo and Ryan Kerrigan modeled the Redskins’ 80 year Anniversary Jerseys Thursday evening during a ceremony held at Redskins Park. The Nike Elite 51 Washington Redskins 80th Anniversary Jersey is a modern interpretation of  those worn in 1937 – paying tribute to the great “Slinging” Sammy Baugh who led the...

Redskins linebacker Ryan Kerrigan took a break from his classes at Purdue (yes, he’s still working toward a degree) to join Russ Thaler and me on Thursday’s NBC Sportstalk, live from Indy. Ryan actually visited with us for three segments of the show.  The first focused on the team that swept the NFC champion Giants…

AP Image The NFL season is a grueling five month endeavor that begins in a fiery August and ends in a frozen January (or February).  Along the way, players get understandably tired, and use the first few weeks of the offseason to decompress and relax. Some go home to reacquaint with family and friends, while others fly to remote locations to get away. And then there is rookie linebacker...

It recently came to my attention that Redskins rookie linebacker Ryan Kerrigan was featured on the NFL Network’s show “Sound FX,” which features microphone’d players and whatever they have to say over the course of a game. The microphone in his helmet was used to catch his interactions between teammates, coaches and opponents during the Redskins-Vikings game...

(photo by Brian Murphy) As I walked into the locker room of the Washington Redskins following the team’s season-ending 34-10 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, I happened to catch a sincere moment between two teammates. Middle linebacker London Fletcher, the 36-year-old grizzled veteran, was quietly chatting with rookie linebacker Ryan Kerrigan as the two finished getting dressed...

Washington Redskins rookie outside linebacker Ryan Kerrigan added to his team lead in sacks and ended a two-game drought by dropping Giants quarterback Eli Manning for a 13-yard loss in the fourth quarter of his team’s 23-10 victory Sunday. Washington’s first-round pick out of Purdue, the 6-foot-4, 267-pound Kerrigan now leads the Redskins with 7.5 sacks. He sack against the...

A lot of Patriots fans liked Ryan Kerrigan heading into this year’s draft including FOPP’er Kristin over at The Foxhole, with the people who were writing him off (like yours truly) unconvinced he could play OLB in the 3-4 defense. Of course the Patriots ended up going to primarily a 4-3 defense this year and then Nick Caserio drops this nugget today: Ryan can play in any system...

Washington Redskins linebacker Ryan Kerrigan is a nominee for Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Week for a third time this season after his two-sack performance against the Miami Dolphins Sunday. Kerrigan, drafted 16th overall by the Redskins out of Purdue, also recorded two forced fumbles and five tackles. It marked the first multi-sack game of Kerrigan’s young career, and increased his...

Remember Redskins linebacker Ryan Kerrigan, the man who said only yesterday that he doesn’t think he’s had a lot of individual success? He’s now up for his third nomination for NFL Rookie of the Week (the fourth by a Redskins player), seeking his first win. Kerrigan dominated on Sunday, finishing with five tackles, two sacks and two forced fumbles.  He leads the...
