SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE YEAR: TRESS WAY

The Washington Redskins specialists have been largely special in 2019. Snapper Nick Sundberg, kicker Dustin Hopkins and punter Tress Way have been very good at their individual tasks and even as a unit on field goals and extra points.

Steven Sims had a huge kick return for a touchdown and injected life in an area the Redskins have been dead-on-arrival in for much of the last decade.

In general, the various units have been very good for first-year coordinator Nate Kaczor.

However, there's only one Warpath Special Teams Player of the Year award that we can give out and it goes to a guy who shows the Redskins the "Way" way too often. Indeed, it's his second straight year of winning Warpath’s award.

Tress Way was Special Teams Player of the Week a few weeks ago after the Redskins last big win of the year in Carolina. A 79-yard punt and a couple of boots downed inside the 20-yard line highlighted that game.
