LSU football‘s Thaddeus Moss wasn’t selected in the 2020 NFL Draft, but he was quickly scooped up by the Washington Redskins.
Moss signed with Washington, instead of the Cincinnati Bengals (where he would’ve played with former teammate Joe Burrow), because the Redskins were the first team to call him after the draft.
I was surprised when Moss wasn’t drafted. I felt like he’d go in the middle rounds — maybe even as high as the fourth round.
But Moss had surgery on his foot earlier this winter, which likely scared some teams off.
