Alridge Claimed by Skins

Last Friday, the Redskins claimed Anthony Alridge off of waivers from the Denver Broncos. The former University of Houston star was out all last season with a foot injury. Having seen him play a few times in college, I think he has potential to take over Rock Cartright's kickoff return duties. While I like Rock, I think it is time to make a move at that position. He also gives them flexibility and another threat out of the backfield. He is clearly a different runner than Portis and Betts. I really like the move. It is low risk and high reward.

Check out this highlight clip from his college days:
