There are important NFL players and then there are the players who shoulder the fate of their teams based on day-in, day-out performance during the season. These are the latter. Here are the 3 Players Who Will Make Or Break The Washington Redskins' 2015 Season.
QB Robert Griffin III
Griffin has dealt with a plethora of injuries and poor play since his outstanding rookie season, yet that's exactly why he could have a good year in 2015. RG3's problems centered around a selfish attitude he gained from being so good as a rookie, and the last two seasons have humbled him. Griffin has shown he has the skills to be successful in the NFL, and now that his mind seems to be in a better place, he should start producing at a high rate on the field if the Redskins have any hope of making the playoffs.
TE Jordan Reed
Reed has also dealt with numerous injuries during the past two seasons, and that's caused him to miss 12 games since 2013. When he's been healthy, his combination of size and speed has created a lot of problems for opposing defenses. If he can stay healthy, Reed will have a breakout year in 2015 while giving Washington a much-needed weapon over the middle of the field.
LB Keenan Robinson
Robinson led Washington with 109 tackles in just 13 games last season, his first as a full-time starter. He was a rare bright spot on a struggling Redskins defense in 2014, but now that the front office has brought in better players, Robinson should have more chances to make plays. He needs to capitalize on those opportunities and become the anchor of Washington's linebacking core for the Redskins to be successful.
