With football season just around the corner, it's time to start getting familiar with a few new numbers -- eight to be exact! In the offseason, the Redskins drafted eight rookies to their ranks, from their first round pick Da'Ron Payne to the last pick of the draft, Trey Quinn. We stopped by training camp one brutally hot day to get to know the gents a little better. (Images: Amanda Andrade-Rhoades/ DC Refined)

Trey Quinn (14) is a 22-year-old wide receiver, drafted by the Redskins as the final pick of the 2018 draft.{ }“The moment I got drafted, I guess before it, I was kind of angry with how late it took for somebody to call my name, but after that, it was exciting," Quinn said. "I had my family and my friends around. We acted like I got picked first and celebrated the rest of the night.” (Image: Amanda Andrade-Rhoades/ DC Refined)

Quinn grew up in Southern Louisiana and played for both LSU and SMU in college. He grew up rooting for Peyton Manning, and he's really looking forward to playing his first snap as a professional. "When I'm taking a day off back home, I've been getting into bass fishing. When I'm up here, it's pretty much Fortnite when I get good WiFi." (Image: Amanda Andrade-Rhoades/ DC Refined)

Greg Stroman (25) is a 22-year-old cornerback from Manassas, VA who was drafted by the Redskins in the seventh round. "I was almost speechless," Stroman said. "It was just a great day in my house and it’s hard to describe the feeling. Like I said, speechless.” (Image: Amanda Andrade-Rhoades/ DC Refined)

While he grew up an Eagles fan, he's pumped to get out on the field this year and make plays and get wins with his new teammates. (Image: Amanda Andrade-Rhoades/ DC Refined)

Jamaica is at the top of his travel bucket list and he prefers to spend his off days relaxing and seeing family. (Image: Amanda Andrade-Rhoades/ DC Refined)

Stroman is also joined by his lifelong friend and twice former teammate Tim Settle. (Image: Amanda Andrade-Rhoades/ DC Refined)

Derrius Guice (29){ } is a 21-year-old running back drafted in the second round by the Redskins. Growing up in Baton Rouge, he was more into college football than NFL.{ } (Image: Amanda Andrade-Rhoades/ DC Refined)

On his off days he prefers chilling, laying in bed or watching movies. "I don't really have a travel bucket list, I'm just letting life take me," says Guice. (Image: Amanda Andrade-Rhoades/ DC Refined)

Troy Apke (30) is a 23-year-old free safety from Pittsburgh, who was drafted by the Skins in the fourth round.{ } "I'm just excited for my first NFL season," says Apke. "I've been dreaming about it since I was a little kid. It's a dream come true." (Image: Amanda Andrade-Rhoades/ DC Refined)

Apke admits he hasn't explored much of the DMV yet (but you can often see him in the Ashburn Chipotle!) but says he{ } enjoys sushi for date{ } night. If he's picking a vacation spot it will definitely be somewhere warm with a beach." (Image: Amanda Andrade-Rhoades/ DC Refined)

Shaun Dion Hamilton (51) is a 22-year-old linebacker from Montgomery, Alabama who was drafted in the sixth round by the Redskins.{ } "It was a relief," said Hamilton. "I was very ecstatic since I had been working hard for it all year -- for 22 years really -- so I was excited. (Image: Amanda Andrade-Rhoades/ DC Refined)

While he doesn't yet have a go-to date spot, his favorite spots in the DMV include Chopt ("it's like a creative salad thing I just found out about"), Shake Shack and Matchbox. (Image: Amanda Andrade-Rhoades/ DC Refined)

Hamilton is really excited to experience the NFL, trying the ins and outs and learning more about football. He spends his off days hanging with teammates and playing video games, but sitting court side at{ } Lebron James game is high on his bucketlist. (Image: Amanda Andrade-Rhoades/ DC Refined)

Geron Christian (72) is a 21-year-old offensive tackle from Jupiter, Florida who was drafted to the Redskins in the third round. "It was really unbelievable," he said. "It's something you always dream of, but it felt good to hear your name get called." (Image: Amanda Andrade-Rhoades/ DC Refined)

Christian prefers to spend most of his free time with his son and family doing anything outside. He spent time in New York over the break, but wants to head out on a cruise next. "I just want to see how everything plays out, see what I can learn from Morgan and Trent and keep learning," says Christian. "We've got a great offensive line coach, so lets just see how I develop and what player I become." (Image: Amanda Andrade-Rhoades/ DC Refined)

Tim Settle (97) is a 21-year-old nose tackle from Manassas, Virginia who was drafted in the fifth round. He has been playing football with Greg Stroman since their peewee days, and they played as teammates at Stonewall Jackson High School and Virginia Tech. Being from the area, he grew up a Skins fan and said one of the best parts of the draft experience was celebrating with his family. "You get impatient after a while, but it just releases all the stress after you hear your name get called." (Image: Amanda Andrade-Rhoades/ DC Refined)

Settle calls himself a homebody but loves TopGolf and playing Fortnite. Vegas is at the top of his travel bucket list. (Image: Amanda Andrade-Rhoades/ DC Refined)

Da’Ron Payne (95) is a 21-year-old nose tackle and was the Redskins first round draft pick for 2018. He was a five star recruit out of HS and played for Alabama. He was a co-MVP of the 2018 College Football National Chamipnship. (Image: Garrett Campbell/ Washington Redskins)

Payne is currently injured but hopes to return to training camp shortly. He will not only be playing alongside former teammate Shaun Dion Hamilton, but also former rival Derrius Guice. (Image: Garrett Campbell/ Washington Redskins)
