The former first-round pick seemed like an obvious No. 2 receiving option in his third season. But Washington’s use of him puts that role in question.
“DQ didn’t draft me,” said Dotson, the No. 16 overall pick in 2022. “Each and every year … in your profession, you got to prove yourself. You got to prove what you’re worth and what you’re capable of doing. That’s what I’m trying to do.”
In the past week, Dotson’s role has become more of a question. He seemed primed to succeed Curtis Samuel as the team’s No. 2 wide receiver, and he has mostly run with the first team during what has been an uneven training camp for him.
