Last year, linebacker Houston Bates was among the tryout players the Redskins brought in for rookie minicamp.
Bates impressed not only that weekend, but the entire season, as he signed with the team the week following rookie minicamp and even earned a practice squad spot before being called up to the active roster on Nov. 7.
"I didn't really expect to go undrafted, so to be undrafted was obviously a chip on my shoulder," Bates said last June. "I have a point to prove by making the team, doing the best that I can, and getting on an NFL team of 53. I just want to be on a team, and to be with these guys, a great team, a great organization is a blessing honestly. I'm just going to further my dream and keep pushing forward. That's my motivation right now."
