Redskins Top Reserves: WRs Cam Sims and Brian Quick

The final seven receivers on the Redskins roster are a bit jumbled. You could order this group in a number of ways, but generally, you’ll find that two receivers stand out amongst the rest: Brian Quick and Cam Sims.

Simply because these receivers are deemed as the top reserves doesn’t mean they’ll stay that way. As we’ll get into later, the receivers at the bottom of the depth chart have enticing traits as well. But Quick separates himself from this group with his NFL experience, and Sims separates himself with his size and his 2018 preseason performance (his Alabama lineage probably doesn’t hurt in D.C.).

Sims likely has the best chance of making the roster; after all, he made it last year, when, as an undrafted free agent, he stood out enough with his 6-foot-5, 213-pound frame and his impressive contested catch ability. At just 23 years old, Sims still has plenty of upside, and the Redskins could deem him worthy of keeping with a sixth receiver spot.

Brian Quick’s roster spot is far less of a sure thing. The veteran, who turns 30 years old in early June, was the player brought on to replace Cam Sims last year when Sims was placed on injured reserve after Week 1. He signed his third one-year deal in a row with the Redskins in March, and at this point, there might be too much young talent on the roster to warrant using a spot on Quick. For the offseason, he’ll provide solid veteran leadership. Afterward, however, his fate is less certain.
