Ashburn, VA (My Sportsbook) - The Washington Redskins were the only team to select a player in Thursday's 2009 NFL supplemental draft, picking up former Kentucky defensive end Jeremy Jarmon. Jarmon tested positive for a banned substance back in February and was ruled ineligible to participate in what would have been his senior season with the Wildcats this Fall. He had an appeal for reinstatement denied by the NCAA in May. The 6-foot-3, 277-pounder started 31 of 39 games in his three years with the Wildcats, ranking third on the school's all-time list in sacks (17 1/2). Washington, which had never selected a player from the supplemental draft prior to this year, forfeits a third-round draft pick in the 2010 NFL Draft with the selection of Jarmon. The supplemental draft is held for underclassmen who did not enter April's draft because their academic eligibility was in question for the following season. There were seven other players eligible for selection. |
