The Redskins Flight Marshals underwent a very complicated collapse in 2018, but at their best, they were a secondary to be respected.

At their worst? A representation of the bigger-scale dysfunction of the Washington Redskins.

The Redskins cornerbacks rode a roller coaster through the 2018 season. Injuries, inconsistency, and inexperience defined the secondary’s latest campaign.

There’s undeniable talent in Washington’s defensive backfield, but miscommunication was a dire concern in 2018. Defensive backs coach Torrian Gray deferred back to Florida, and in 2019, new defensive backs coach Ray Morton will be tasked with being the glue for a cornerback unit that should stay largely the same.

Morton, however, will need to know how his players performed individually. So, to give him some help, let’s go through and grade the Redskins cornerbacks for the 2018 season.
