Redskins players nearly got "catfished"

At least four Redskins players nearly had their own Lennay Kekua.
According to an NFL.com report, a woman who used the name Sidney Ackerman on her @RedRidnH00d Twitter account, contacted a handful of Washington’s players in hopes of starting an online relationship with them. When some of those players tried to meet up with Ackerman, and those attempts did not come to fruition, they began to suspect something was amiss. Ackerman had been using the photos of Internet adult entertainer C.J. Miles to attract attention, but a report by the NFL discovered that she had no plans to take it to level that alleged Kekua inventor Roniah Tuiasosopo, did.
"I think it was all about attention," said Phillip Daniels, the Redskins director of player development.
