Former Redskins WR Rashad Ross is now tearing up the XFL

The former Redskins WR is already making big plays.

This one only seemed like a matter of time.

Rashad Ross, a former Washington Redskins wide receiver, already put up a big game in his XFL debut with the DC Defenders, at one point catching a touchdown from Cardale Jones.

No big shock here — Ross had previously ripped through the now-defunct AAF too.

Ross has bounced around the NFL at times and served as a strong returner for the Redskins. At this pace, he’ll probably have more chances again soon.

As a note from ESPN Stats & Info pointed out, not only was he the best wideout in the AAF last year, he still holds a place in Washington’s record books thanks to his performance on special teams:

Former Redskins WR heads to the XFL

Rashad Ross is headed to the XFL.

Former Washington Redskins wideout Rashad Ross will play football in Washington again soon — but for the XFL.

Ross will suit up in the XFL for the DC Defenders, just a few miles away from the Redskins when the league’s season starts.

A 2013 undrafted free agent, Ross last popped up in the NFL with the Carolina Panthers last April. He previously spent two years with the Redskins in 2015 and 2016, at one point having a standout preseason and serving as a kick returner for the Redskins.

After fizzling out in the NFL about a year ago, Ross took a shot on the AAF with the Arizona Hotshots before that league went under.

Now, Ross is back in Washington but suiting up in a marquee role fora different league.
