Does anyone know the validity of Trey Jacobs signing a contract with the Redskins?

03/28/2010 - PRO DAY RESULTS: With all the talk about 4.30-second 40-yard dashes, 40-inch vertical jumps and 10-foot broad jumps, it's easy to lose track of what constitutes an outstanding workout for a defensive tackle. Naturally, the standards are different for players hovering around 300 pounds. Given that, it's eye-catching what unheralded prospect Trey Jacobs (6-3 3/4, 295 pounds) was able to accomplish at Liberty's pro day. The athletic defensive tackle was the most notable of the seven prospects who worked out indoors on FieldTurf for representatives from three teams. He ran the 40-yard dash in 5.13 and 5.0 seconds, had a 36-inch vertical leap, 8-1 broad jump, a 4.61-second short shuttle, a 7.58-second three-cone drill and did 24 bench press repititions at 225 pounds. While those numbers won't put him in a position to rival the quickness, speed and agility of skill position players, they are more than good enough to indicate he has the physical attributes to handle offensive linemen. - Gil Brandt, NFL.com

Don't get too excited, but this is a good opportunity for him.Why not get excited? Not many people get invited to training camp, unless I'm missing something... I'm still waiting for my letter... Sometimes all you need an opportunity....

Contracts are almost guaranteed you'll at least make the practice squad.Congrats and good luck Trey! I hope all LU players learn from the positives and the negatives of former LU players to try to make the big time. Vince also got something else...got dumb, got caught, got suspended, got cut, and essentially got excommunicated from the NFL. So much for making the practice squad.
The Redskins have completed the signing of offensive tackle Trent Williams, the team announced on Friday.
To make room for Williams on the roster, the Redskins released defensive lineman Trey Jacobs and placed offensive lineman Mike Williams on the reserve/non-football illness list.
