The Washington Redskins have made an undrafted free-agent addition with superstar genes.

Adding further depth and competition to the linebacker corps, the Redskins announced Tuesday that the club has signed Nico Marley, grandson of reggae legend Bob Marley.

Marley catches on with the Redskins after a tryout at the club's three-day rookie minicamp over the weekend.

His transition to the NFL comes on the heels of a productive four-year college career at Tulane, where he racked up 319 total tackles, including 48.5 for a loss, seven sacks, and four interceptions.
