Pretty in-depth piece on LeRibeus, both pro and con, by a guy who covers the Redskins year-round.

Something to prove: Josh LeRibeus
July, 1, 2014

By John Keim | ESPN.com

We will be featuring a different Washington Redskins player each day on this list, staying away from rookies or some second-year players still finding their way. This will focus primarily on veterans at or near a career crossroads. Today: guard Josh LeRibeus.

Why he has something to prove: Because, well, he hasn’t done anything yet. And he’s now entering his third year. I did not want to focus on a player in his first or second year because they’re still finding their way and, of course, still have something to prove. But LeRibeus is entering his third and was inactive for every game last season. That’s a horrendous fact for a player who was once a third-round pick. When the Redskins made that selection it led some (perhaps many) to say they reached. The Redskins, naturally, insisted that wasn’t the case and that his weight issues from college had been solved. By the end of his rookie year he looked like a player who could challenge for more playing time, or even a starting job, in his second season.

I sure hope LeRibeus can keep it together and challenge for playing time. Seems to have plenty of talent, but his challenge lies between his ears...kind of reminds you of the season he missed at SMU.
