Daron Payne records sack in preseason debut

Redskins rookie defensive lineman Daron Payne recorded his first sack in Thursday’s preseason game against the Jets. Payne beat right guard Jonotthan Harrison in a one-on-one battle on the play. It was Payne’s first NFL game action.
Fantasy Impact:
It was an impressive debut. Payne, who returned to practice over the weekend after an ankle injury kept him sidelined for two weeks, battled double teams for most of the night but took advantage of the one-on-one. On his sack of Sam Darnold, Payne showed off his impressive combination of power and quickness to get inside and shake off the block. It’s the type of play the Redskins were envisioning when they selected him 13th overall in April’s draft. He is already expected to be a significant piece of the Washington puzzle.
