Three biggest surprises of Washington Football Team’s camp so far

Here are the three biggest surprises of the Washington Football Team’s training camp so far.

Look, I know it’s really early in camp even despite the later date on the NFL calendar. The COVID-19 pandemic pushed back the NFL’s offseason schedule a bit so a lot of things are still being hashed out in what usually would be the latter stages of training camp.

But off the bat for the Washington Football Team, there have been some surprises in camp. Some of the starters, at least through a few days of camp, weren’t the players that many fans expected to see on the field. In fact, there have been a handful of dark horses emerging in roles once thought to be occupied by others.

It remains to be seen if this will last. This could just be an early-camp look at some of the fringe guys to see what they might do in bigger roles. That said, it could also be a look at some of the improvements that these roster options have made this offseason and how new coaching is unlocking their potential.

Simply put, we won’t know what the pecking order is until we know. And without preseason games, that may not be until final cuts are made and Week 1 arrives. But at this point, there are several noteworthy surprises on the Washington roster who could end up playing bigger roles than many initially assumed.

Let’s dive into the top three, starting with a (formerly) much-maligned player on offense.
