WR Ray Small (official thread)

Redskins add receiver to the practice squad

The Redskins signed receiver Ray Small to their practice squad this week, taking the place made available when running back Keiland Williams was elevated to the 53-man roster last Saturday. Williams took the place of receiver Devin Thomas, who was cut.

Small, a 5-foot-11, 180-pound rookie from Ohio State, spent the preseason with Minnesota but was cut after playing in two preseason games in which he caught four passes for 43 yards.

"It's a blessing, because I thought it was over," Small said. "I thought it was over for me."

Small played sporadically at Ohio State and was suspended multiple times for academic issues. He finished his career with 61 catches for 693 yards and three touchdowns.

"They told me I have an opportunity," Small said. "That's basically all a player needs is an opportunity. Hopefully I come in, show them what I can do, show them my work ethic and hopefully get bumped up."

Only 24 and in this much trouble. Kid is just throwing his life away. Sad. :(
The warning signs were there from the beginning. His dad won't be able to intervene in a criminal matter the way he did with the coaching staff. What could have been, he had NFL talent.
