Darrel Young Training Worn & Signed Washington Redskins Nike Dri-Fit 2XL Shirt – Worn During 2016 Playoffs Week!

Description

Darrel Young is a fullback for the Carolina Panthers of the National Football League. He was signed by the Washington Redskins as an undrafted free agent as a linebacker prospect in 2009. Young has also been a member of the Chicago Bears. He played college football as a linebacker at Villanova University.

Young signed a futures contract with the Washington Redskins on January 5, 2010. When he reported for camp, Young was surprised to learn that he had been converted to a fullback. Mike Shanahan stated, “Just the way he hit, we needed some fullbacks and we thought since he had good hands he might be the ideal candidate,” which was the reason for Young’s transition. The position wasn’t completely foreign to Young, who was recruited to Villanova as a running back before he was moved to linebacker. He ended up making the Redskins’ final 53-man roster as the backup fullback after all cuts were made. On November 15, 2010, Young scored his first career receiving touchdown against the Philadelphia Eagles.

After working behind veteran Mike Sellers in 2010, Young took over as the starter in 2011. He scored his first career rushing touchdown in Week 15 against the New York Giants.

In 2012, despite missing every preseason game, Young was able to start in the season opener against the New Orleans Saints. In the Week 6 win against the Minnesota Vikings, he caught a six-yard pass from Robert Griffin III for a touchdown. He would score his second touchdown for the season after catching another six-yard pass in the end zone.

Set to be a restricted free agent in the 2013 season, Young re-signed with the Redskins to a $6.2 million, three-year contract on March 9, 2013. On November 3, 2013, Young recorded three rushing touchdowns, the last being the game-winning score in overtime against the San Diego Chargers. He would then score a 62-yard touchdown reception against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 11.

The featured Washington Redskins nike dri-fit 2xl shirt was worn in training by Darrel Young during the January 4th week before the Redskins faced the Green Bay Packers in the playoffs on January 10, 2016. The talented fullback has signed the shirt and added “Playoff 2016” in black. There was a player issued label in the collar which has fallen off. The shirt is in good condition!
