DeSean Jackson and Pierre Garcon both took there talents elsewhere this past offseason. Both receivers are coming off productive seasons under a very impressive passing attack, which ranked second in the NFL last season behind New Orleans. Even with both departures, the Redskins are still fully equipped to have another huge year through the air.
Washington made one of the best moves of free agency, signing wide receiver Terrelle Pryor. This was Pryor’s first season as a wide receiver but it sure didn’t look that way at all. He surpassed 1,000 yards to go along with 77 receptions. Pryor only touched the end-zone four times, being passed to by 5 different quarterbacks all season. Being apart of one of the worst total offenses in the league didn’t help either. It was amazing to see the season he had, being the ONLY piece of consistent offense all year.
Pryor is joining a group with Josh Doctson, Jamison Crowder, and of course Jordan Reed. All eyes are on Josh Doctson, after missing his entire rookie season due to an achilles injury, Skins hope his 6’2 will lead the newly, large receiving core.
Crowder, the ‘shorty’ of the group, has a great season to build off of. He was one of the best slot receivers in the league last season and could blow the top off any defense. Skins hope he fills the down the field void that was lost when DeSean left for Tampa.
A lot of defenses find it hard to plan for a guy who’s 6’3, 250 and plays the tight end position like a wide receiver, thats Jordan Reed. Coach Jay Gruden is playing it safe with an ankle injury Jordan has to start training camp, but it shouldn’t be anything to worry about. Reed is one of the best tight ends in the league, but the Skins hope he can finally put together a full 16 games. 6’3 Brain Quick will also be a guy to lookout for this training camp and going into the season.
