Ashburn, VA (WUSA 9) - The Redskins special teams unit has done a good job during the Burgundy and Gold's winning season. One of the key components, punter Tress Way.

During an interview after practice recently, he talked about all the fun has off the field. He re-lived the time nearly a dozen family members took part in a trick in the family pool.

It involved a ball that was tossed to one person,That person threw it Tress' way. Way grabbed it as it sailed through the sky and tossed it to someone else as he jumped in the pool. The trick ended with Tress' younger brother jumping off the roof of the house, grabbing the ball in mid-air and splashing into the pool.

He said the impetus for the trick was some "cold beverages" and the thought, "what's one way we can risk everybody getting hurt and do something cool."

Way said it took 16 takes to get it right and was happy nobody got hurt.

He also boasted about his brother-in-law, Brice Turang who's an athlete in his own right. Turang was drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers this summer.

Way, who said baseball was his first love, shared plans to pitch a little batting practice to Brice when the brother-in-law visits the DC area soon.
