Former Rebel Dorsey signs with Redskins

Former UNLV star running back Dominique Dorsey (2001-04) signed a free agent contract with the Washington Redskins after becoming the Canadian Football League’s Outstanding Special Teams Player.

He played for the CFL’s Toronto Argonauts the past two seasons.

"I had the most fun playing in the CFL these past two years with the Argos," Dorsey said in a statement. "It was a tough decision to leave — I felt like I made a home for myself in Toronto and wanted to win a Grey Cup there badly. I showcased my best abilities in Toronto but needed to pursue this opportunity in Washington at this point in my career."

Dorsey is the last UNLV player to rush for 1,000 yards in a season, gaining 1,261 in 2004.
