Cam Sims

Is 2020 finally the year that Cam Sims can crack the Redskins’ Week 1 roster? The fan-favorite and preseason star has spent the past two years bouncing between the practice squad, active roster, and Injured Reserve.

But 2020 is probably his last chance to be considered a vital part of the Redskins program. And if he can’t make the team, he may have to look for work elsewhere.

Sims has the talent needed to make the team. He has a terrific 6-5 frame and has the jump-ball ability needed to make any contest catch. He has good athletic ability and enough speed to be a downfield threat. So, he’s well-rounded enough to be nice roster depth and a potential red-zone weapon.

For Sims, it’s just about performing consistently. He needs to find a way to cut down on drops, which were an issue for him at times in the preseason, and just avoid the focus errors that cost the team a couple of times in the 2018 and 2019 preseasons. If he can do that, then he will have a legitimate chance to emerge as a playmaker for the ‘Skins.

It will be interesting to see if Sims can put it all together in 2020. He’s working with a new coaching staff and maybe they can coax the upside out of him and get him to consistently dominate during the offseason. We’ll have to see what Rivera and Turner think of the second-longest-tenured Redskins receiver.
