Ha Ha Clinton-Dix joined the Redskins on Tuesday, and by Wednesday, he made absolutely clear how excited he was by the move.

"I'm at a place where I love. I love Sean Taylor. I love this game," Clinton-Dix told the media. "My eyes always light up every time I play here. I'm happy to be a part of this organization and I'm ready to keep things going and that's on to the next W."

Washington traded for Clinton-Dix just minutes before the NFL deadline, and he looks to be immediately prepared for life in the Burgundy and Gold. He spoke at length about his respect and friendship with current 'Skins safety D.J. Swearinger, and how he grew up idolizing Taylor.

"He's one of the best to ever play this game and that's not just for the money but because of the love of the game. He was a leader," Clinton-Dix said of the late Taylor. "He didn’t talk much but he led by example, and he set great examples. So that's somebody you want to admire, somebody you want to look up to and someone you want to feed off of. There's no way I can be Sean Taylor, but he's a guy that I look up to and I model my game after him."

This offseason, Clinton-Dix and Swearinger worked out together in Miami. It clearly made an impact.

"That was in Miami. Two men who love this game, who play for their families, who play for their friends, who play for their coaches, who play for their teammates and it was all balls-to-the-walls this offseason and we had fun doing it. Like I said, when you're competing with a guy that loves the game as much as you do, you can never get bored in this league."

The former Packers safety came to the Redskins in exchange for a fourth-round pick, and seems likely to step in right away on the field. Asked if he can take the field as soon as Sunday for the 'Skins, Clinton-Dix made it very obvious he expects to suiting up against Atlanta this weekend.

"I came here to play. I came here to work," Clinton-Dix said. "Any if that's on special teams, I'm just helping contribute to this team any way I can, because number 20 is going to be suited up this weekend, and you can bet that."
