Ashburn (May 2, 2012) - Stone Bridge High School grad Devon "Ylou" Brown, who played wide receiver at Wake Forest before finishing up his collegiate career at West Virginia this past season, confirmed Wednesday that he has signed with the Washington Redskins. (While Brown is not listed by the Redskins as one of 12 undrafted free agents signed this week, we expect he is one of 36 players in camp today, most likely on a tryout contract).
"Growing up in the area, the Redskins were my favorite team, the home team. It really hasn't hit me yet," said Brown, who had more than 1,500 yards receiving and 12 overall touchdowns in college. "I was talking with a (WVU) teammate and we said that this is the opportunity we have been working for our whole lives."
Brown said it probably won't sink in totally until he hits the practice field and that will be soon as he said the Redskins will hold a mini-camp for rookies, and undrafted free agents May 4-6.
