Incomplete Grades

There are seven players in particular who weren’t able to produce enough in 2018 to warrant a grade. Five of those players are relatively young, while one, Brian Quick, is a veteran. Quick spent only a month with the team as depth, waived when the Redskins opted to bring back Byron Marshall.

The second veteran to not receive a grade is Breshad Perriman. He spent around a week with the Redskins before he was released in favor of Michael Floyd. Now, he might have a future in Cleveland after catching 16 passes for 340 yards and two touchdowns. Totally expected.

Now on to the youth. Robert Davis didn’t see any football action in 2018, preseason or regular season. He suffered a serious leg injury in practice in August and was lost for the season. The hope is that Davis, who possesses intriguing upside, can come back and make a case to remain on the roster.

Cam Sims is another receiver who didn’t see any regular season action, but the Alabama product at least made it there. One of the fan favorites in preseason due to his height and contested catch abilities, Sims entered the 2018 regular season campaign on the active roster, but before he could make an impact against Arizona, he was sidelined with an injury suffered on special teams, and stashed on injured reserve. The team could have waited to bring him back, but they settled for Trey Quinn later in the season.

Another young player who provided services mainly on special teams was Jehu Chesson. The Michigan product logged just one catch on the season as a wide receiver. While his performance on special teams as a gunner was noteworthy, he did not do enough to receive a grade as a receiver.

Darvin Kidsy didn’t do quite enough to earn a grade, either. The undrafted free agent spent most of the season on the practice squad along with Simmie Cobbs, and he was only promoted after the Saints swiped Cobbs away. Kidsy played in the final two games of the season, logging one catch on two targets for eight yards, catching passes from Josh Johnson.
