Here’s how former Liberty players fared in the first full weekend of preseason games.
ANTONIO GANDY GOLDEN
AGG fought through several injuries during his rookie campaign in 2020. The 4th round draft pick of the Washington Football Team played in six games while making two starts last season, finishing with one reception for three yards and one rushing attempt for 22 yards. This year, Gandy-Golden has some added competition in the receiver room in Washington as he will have to fight to make the 53-man roster.
In his first preseason game last Thursday night: Reserve; targeted once, no catches; had a tying 2-point conversion catch overruled because of replay.
JESSIE LEMONIER
After going undrafted in 2020, Lemonier was quickly signed by the Los Angeles Chargers where he spent his rookie campaign going back and forth from their active to inactive roster. Lemonier played in six games in 2020, recording two tackles. He is still with the Chargers and will again be looking to make their active roster.
In his first preseason game Saturday: Reserve; 1 tackle.
ELIJAH BENTON
Benton, who began his Liberty career as a walk-on before becoming a main stay at safety, joined the Cleveland Browns after going undrafted in 2020. He spent most of the year last season on the Browns’ practice squad.
In his first preseason game Saturday: Reserve; 1 tackle.
