It shouldn’t come as much of a surprise to hear Washington Redskins star pass-rusher Ryan Kerrigan made a team of the week anywhere.
Kerrigan did just that for his performance in Sunday’s loss to the New York Jets, landing as one of the defenders on Pro Football Focus’ team of the week.
According to that writeup, Kerrigan put up a 90.9 pass-rushing grade on the day.
More interesting is the other Redskins player joining him: Donald Penn.
Penn landed there for the following:
Penn allowed just one pressure in 26 pass-blocking snaps against New York on Sunday. He also earned an impressive 81.3 run-blocking grade.
It’s a nice feather in the cap of sorts for Penn, who came on and suddenly had to step in for an elite player like Trent Williams.
And while Penn hasn’t been a Trent Williams by any means, he’s been an unexpectedly stable presence on the left side of the offensive line.
Call it a bright value spot for a front office that has otherwise understandably come under plenty of fire this season.
