<p><a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/7953/dezmon-briscoe">Dezmon Briscoe</a> definitely played well enough to earn a roster spot with the Washington Redskins this preseason. After the last round of NFL roster cuts, the former Kansas receiver was able to finally breathe easily knowing that he had made the final 53 man roster for Washington. </p>
<p>However, Briscoe said he had a tip that he was going to land with the team given the attention he had earned from head coach <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/37503/mike-shanahan">Mike Shanahan</a>.</p>
<p>"On a personal level, getting to know each other," <a href="http://washingtonexaminer.com/redskins-notes-sept.-3/article/2506806#.UEX4rWjC4Vm" target="_blank">Briscoe said</a>. "That helped out because when coach calls you in that means he likes you. That helped your self-esteem out a whole lot more knowing the head coach wants to get to know you a little better."</p>
<p>Briscoe should be able to help a newly rebuilt Redskins wide receiver corps. The team went all out to support their new quarterback <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/35519/robert-griffin-iii">Robert Griffin III</a> this offseason with Josh Morgan and <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/32639/pierre-garcon">Pierre Garcon</a> brought in as free agents. </p>
<p>Briscoe was a sixth round choice in the 2010 NFL Draft.</p>

<p>Former Kansas Jayhawks wide receiver <span>Dezmon Briscoe</span> is trying to land a roster spot with the <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/washington-redskins" class="sbn-auto-link">Washington Redskins</a>. Briscoe was let go by the <a href="https://www.bucsnation.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Tampa Bay Buccaneers</a> last month before being picked up by the Redskins.</p>
<p>So far Briscoe has impressed by catching <a target="_blank" href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/Blogs/Football-Insider/Post/Dezmon-Briscoe-Gets-Into-The-End-Zone-Again/2012/08/25/F1899160-Ef1f-11e1-Afd8-097e90f99d05_blog.html">two touchdown passes in two preseason games</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"It's very important," Briscoe said. "You know it's preseason - how this business goes, if you don't produce, you usually have a tough time making the team."</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Redskins coach Mike Shanahan sees Briscoe taking advantage of those opportunities, and if he can keep performing there is a chance he could be on the final 53-man roster.</p>
<p>While at Kansas, Briscoe set many wide receiving records and is the all-time leading receiver in yards with 3,240, and he holds the single-season record for yards with 1,407 yards as well as touchdowns with 15. Briscoe still holds the single-game record for most yards by a wide receiver with 269 against Oklahoma in 2008.</p>
