2014 Redskins Camp Battles – Wide Receivers
1. Santana Moss – Age: 35, 5-10, 190
Pros:
- Moss is a fan favorite and is one of the most popular players on the team.
- He has experience as a slot receiver and outside receiver.
- A veteran leader, and respected in the locker room.
- Can still return punts and kickoffs.
Cons:
- His age. Moss is 35 and not quite the speed receiver he used to be.
- Even though was targeted only 78 times, he tied for the team lead in dropped passes with 7.
- Can play the slot, but is better suited outside. And there are better options on the outside.
Moss’ history with the team won’t save him a roster spot. He will have to earn that with a great camp, and solidify it by outperforming younger receivers in the preseason.
