Moreland provides solid depth and Johnson will continue to make the team as a special teams ace. Stroman could be released before the season begins.
2021 Prediction: Jackson will snag six interceptions for the Washington Football Team in 2021 and have a 58-yard pick-six. Fuller is going to be very busy with eight interceptions and one fumble recovery. St-Juste will make his mark as a rookie with two interceptions and a sack.
Slot Cornerbacks
- Jimmy Moreland
- Kendall Fuller *
- Jeremy Reaves *
- Danny Johnson
Kendall Fuller could move to the slot if St-Juste is ready to start on the outside later in the season. Jeremy Reaves is likely to stay at free safety, but could see some action at the slot closer to the goal line and short-yardage downs.
2021 Prediction: Moreland is at the top of the depth chart for now. He will record an interception and three forced fumbles.
