Who is Redskins 5th Round Pick Khaleke Hudson?

Just who did the Redskins get in fifth-round pick Khaleke Hudson? Not only did they get a Michigan man, but they hope they got the man that can fly all over on defense & specials.

Khaleke Hudson is hopefully a diamond in the rough that the Redskins found or perhaps stumbled into. He's also the Redskins second of two picks in the fifth-round. 

He's certainly not going to be intimidated by the sparse crowds at FedExField, no matter what the restrictions are, after playing at the "Big House" in Ann Arbor. 

His versatile skill set will allow him to play safety, linebacker (probably dime packages to start), punt block/coverage and anything else that Redskins coaches allow him to play. 

A pal of mine, "Jon in Fraser, Michigan" as he has been known forever on talk shows heard across America, is the most intense and passionate Michigan fan that I've ever come across. He refers to Hudson as "the strongest pound for pound guy I have ever seen at Michigan."

I'll take his word for it. The guy lives, eats and sleeps Michigan football. 

However, why stop there? Earlier this week - Brandon Brown of Wolverine Digest on SI.com gave us a lot of great nuts and bolts on the newest Redskins defender. 

Check out Brandon's corresponding piece to this interview and the great work he and the crew do at Wolverine Digest on SI right here. 

Redskins.com put this profile together on Hudson as well. 

That piece included some high school video footage of Hudson which is a fun watch!

You can also hear from Hudson right here. He joined my pals Grant Paulsen and Danny Rouhier on 106.7 The FAN Thursday as well. 

If Hudson, who blocked five punts in his career at Michigan, is even somewhat close to the type of player we've seen, Redskins fans are going to love him.
