Stroman, 26, was drafted by Washington in the seventh round out of Virginia Tech in 2018. He was entering the final year of his four-year, $2.5 million rookie deal when Washington released him during training camp.

Stroman most recently was a member of the Bills practice squad before being let go by the team.

In 2018 as a rookie, Stroman appeared in 15 games and recorded 38 total tackles, one interception, and four pass defenses. 

In 2020, Stroman appeared in four games for Washington but recorded no statistics.
