Washington Redskins rookie Quinton Dunbar signed with the team as an undrafted free agent to play wide receiver.

However, the 6-foot-2, 195-pound former Florida Gators standout also worked out at cornerback in recent practices. Friday, it appears the switch to the defensive side of the ball is complete with multiple reports stating that Dunbar arrived in a burgundy jersey, which designated for defensive players for the Redskins.

Redskins head coach Jay Gruden addressed the move to cornerback today.

“We're pretty thin in the secondary," said Gruden. "I was watching punts and he was blocking the flyers. He was very long and looked like he could get his hands on people and changed direction pretty good. We put him out there on one-on-ones on receivers and he played pretty dang good. We decided to give him a chance and he was up for it.

"There's a great opportunity there for him. He's long and obviously he's got a ways to go with his technique and all of that stuff, but he's got the measurables to be a pretty dang good corner, so we’ll see. In high school he played [cornerback] a little bit.”
