No. 3 – S Kamren Curl

It’s fitting that Kamren Curl‘s biggest test of the year is the one coming up.

That’s not to take away anything from what Curl’s done thus far. Curl has been a massive addition for the Washington Football Team, amassing 88 total tackles, four tackles for loss, 2.0 sacks, three interceptions, four pass deflections, and a touchdown in 16 games and 11 starts.

Curl has been a legitimate high-level starter for Washington. As a seventh-round rookie, this kind of early impact is almost unheard of. That said, he’ll have his toughest career test to date on Saturday, when the Washington Football Team takes on Hall of Fame quarterback Tom Brady.

Brady is known for his ability to dissect secondaries indiscriminately, and Curl has to be on top of his game against the deceptive, reliable veteran. Curl has the ability to make an impact on this game, but he has to maintain discipline with his positioning and decision making. He’s a big part of Washington’s defense, and Tampa Bay will be aiming to make him slip.
