When it comes to wide receivers who have made a name for themselves with the Washington Redskins, Santana Moss is near the top of that list. In 10 years with the team, he racked up 47 total touchdowns and over 7,800 yards.
So when he looks at the current iteration of the Redskins, now that he is in retirement, what does the Washington legend see?
Potential, and a group that could turn quite a few heads over the next couple of years.
“They have something going on, something brewing with some of those receivers, that they’re gonna do something a little differently,” Moss said on 106.7 The Fan this week. “I don’t know. I’m just saying that’s what I’m thinking because I see how people play chess sometimes.”
The talent at the top of the receiving corps is undeniable; Terry McLaurin is only entering his second year in the NFL, and his name has already been mentioned in the same sentences as Odell Beckham Jr., Mike Evans, Calvin Johnson, and Michael Thomas, thanks to what he did in his rookie year. However, when you look past McLaurin and focus on Steven Sims, Kelvin Harmon, and Antonio Gandy-Golden, the stats and proof may not be there, but the talent is.
“I’m just looking forward to whatever they might do,” he said. “I think they have something planned for the guys that they have that’s going to allow them to not have to lean so much on a tight end.”
If Washington’s receivers can be good enough to smooth over the fact that they have a handful of unproven TE’s on the roster, it will be fun to see what else they are capable of, and how much that allows QB Dwayne Haskins to grow as well.
