Lache Seastrunk believes he can give the Washington Redskins a completely different dimension out of the backfield.

The former Baylor Bear was selected in the sixth-round of May's NFL Draft, and while his overall body of work shows that he became the first player in school history to rush for at least 1,000 yards in back-to-back seasons, it's his speed and big-time playmaking ability that grasped the Redskins attention.

In total, the 5-foot-9, 200-pound running back had five touchdowns of at least 68 yards.

"I think I can just make plays and be electrifying," Seastrunk said. "Thinking about the touchdown is always how I feel."

The rookie admitted, however, that he's been leaning on some of the veteran players and coaches – mainly running backs coach Randy Jordan – for assistance as he learns to be a professional on and off the field.  

"He really does help a lot," Seastrunk explained when asked how Jordan, a former player of nine seasons, has been helping him. "This is new to me. I came from the spread offense and now I'm in the West Coast.

"He's been helping me along the way, so I'm humble and very excited to have him working with me."

That assistance from Jordan and the rest of the coaches also includes working with him on catching out of the backfield.

During his senior season, Seastrunk didn't record a single reception.

What's been the single best drill in helping him get ready for a possible pass-catching role and knock off some rust?

Just catching. Over and over again.

"Just catch every day," Seastrunk said. "Just catch passes – it's nothing new. I feel like I have great hands, but I still have a lot to work on, and I still have a lot to learn."
