Introduction
Kyshoen Jarrett (born May 4, 1993) is a former American football safety who played for the Washington Redskins of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Virginia Tech, and was drafted by the Redskins in the sixth round of the 2015 NFL Draft. However, his playing career only lasted a single year as he suffered severe nerve damage in his shoulder during an attempted tackle in the final game of his rookie season. Due to being unable to fully heal from it, he rejoined the Redskins as an assistant coach in 2018.
Professional career
He attended East Stroudsburg High School South in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania before attending Virginia Tech. Jarrett was drafted in the sixth round, 181th overall, by the Washington Redskins in the 2015 NFL Draft. He signed a four-year contract on May 11, 2015. During the regular season finale against the Dallas Cowboys, Jarret suffered severe damage to his brachial plexus during a helmet-to-helmet collision with running back Darren McFadden. Unable to fully regain strength in his arm in the months following the injury, Jarret was waived by the team before the start of training camp in 2016. In 2018, Jarret began a coaching internship with the Redskins, and was hired fulltime as a defensive quality control coach the following year. He was not retained when the team assembled a new coaching staff following the hiring of Ron Rivera.
