I’ve always maintained a somewhat sympathetic view for Josh Doctson. I don’t want to call him a bust because his underwhelming career with the Washington Redskins has not entirely been his doing. The term is blunt. But perhaps, so is the monotony of Doctson’s career.
To be a bust, one is not required to be the sole cause of their own downfall. Doctson came into the NFL as an elite athlete with an incredible analytical profile. He’s shown flashes of his vertical potential in isolated moments. The Seahawks game. The Raiders game. Pockets of greatness that never came to become one great legacy.
