ASHBURN, Va. (AP) -From Macduff to the NFL?
Washington Redskins rookie Jeremy Jarmon is one of those rare athletes who dabbled in drama at college. He even took part in the University of Kentucky’s spring game on the same day he appeared on stage at the campus theater.
Jarmon had planned to pursue a second degree in theater at UK, but he tested positive for a banned substance and lost his final year of eligibility. He was selected by the Redskins in July’s supplemental draft.
Now he’s one of the surprises of training camp. Defensive coordinator Greg Blache says Jarmon could be regular contributor “a little sooner than we thought.”
Jarmon says theater and football are similar – he gets nervous before a show and before a game, but the nerves are gone once the action begins.
