The Washington Redskins pick WR/RS Terrence Austin in the 7th round
The Redskins picked WR/KR/PR Terrence Austin out of UCLA with the 219th overall pick (7th round) of the NFL Draft. Austin caught 37 passes for 455 yards (12.3 avg) with 4 TD grabs last season and he has caught 109 passes for 1,192 yards (10.9 avg) with 5 TD grabs in his career at UCLA. Because he is only 5’11″, 172 pounds he was most likely drafted to help the Skins out as a return man. He returned 45 punts for 302 yards (6.7 avg) last season and he also returned 43 kickoffs for 1,036 yards (24.1 avg). In his four years at UCLA, Austin returned 143 punts for 943 yards (6.6 avg) and he returned 90 kickoffs for 2,145 yards (23.8 avg). It was worth rolling the dice on Austin in the 7th round.
