#9 Albert Haynesworth #92 DT
2009 Scouting Report - Scouts Inc.
Grade: 93
Comment: Haynesworth is a massive defensive tackle who has the ability to dominate at the line of scrimmage. He has unusual quickness and agility for someone with his size and can force offenses to game plan around him. He is powerful and can use his hands to control and shed blockers with ease. He shows a good short burst to make the play. He has a tendency to play a bit erect at times, but manages to get away with it, for the most part, thanks to his natural strength. He does a good job of recognizing blocking schemes and will fight through pressure to work his way to the ball. He can rush the pocket from the inside and will even line up at defensive end to rush off the edge. He has struggled to get through a full season and has played in all 16 games only one time in his career.
#94 Chris Cooley #47 TE
2009 Scouting Report - Scouts Inc.
Grade: 81
Comment: Cooley has been one of the more productive tight ends in the league over the past four seasons. He has excellent quickness and agility as a route-runner with speed to stretch down the seam. He has great hands to adjust and make the tough catch away from his body. He shows excellent concentration and courage in traffic. He has good run-after-catch ability downfield and is a tough matchup for most linebackers. His lack of size hinders his ability to be an effective run-blocker. He lacks power at the point to set the edge. Cooley is a smart, competitive and athletic tight end who should continue to be productive in the coming years.
# 119 Clinton Portis #26 RB
2009 Scouting Report - Scouts Inc.
Grade: 80
Comment: Portis continues to be one of the most productive running backs in the league, averaging 4.5 yards per attempt during his seven-year career.

He has improved his inside presence as a runner but is best on the edges and perimeter. He has good quickness and burst to and through the holes as well as lateral agility and balance to make effective cuts. Portis has great vision inline as a downhill runner but can bounce the ball to the outside with burst t stretch defenses. He is a willing an effective pass protector with toughness and deceptive strength verse linebackers. Portis is an excellent football player who has had some durability problems but has been somewhat healthy his past two seasons.
#139 Chris Samuels #60 OT
2009 Scouting Report - Scouts Inc.
Grade: 79
Comment: Samuels missed four games in 2008 but had been one of the most durable offensive linemen in the league prior to his injury during his impressive nine-year career. He is an excellent combination of size, strength and athleticism who has been a mainstay for the Redskins on the left side of their line. Samuels utilizes great initial quickness, balance and technique along with good functional power to be an effective run blocker at the point of attack. He has strong active hands to maintain proper body position while gaining leverage with good angles on combination blocks. He can slide and mirror well as a pass protector but can be is inconsistent to anchor effectively verse powerful bull rushers. He is effective in space and on the second level to hit his target.

He is a solid open field tackler with pop and power on contact. He is a good pass defender reading route progressions quickly. He does a nice job in combination man and zone coverage's but lacks great speed to cover deep. Fletcher is going into his 12th season in the league and his durability and production has made him one of the most valuable players on the defense..
