2017 was supposed to be the year that Josh Doctson rebounded from injuries and proved himself as a true No. 1 wide receiver. But, as is often the case in the world of football, such a dream did not come to fruition.
The Redskins’ wide receiver position group, in its entirety, was a disappointment in 2017. Terrelle Pryor, the team’s premier offensive free agent, quickly became an afterthought, and he was lost to injuries before the halfway point of the season. Jamison Crowder, the team’s most productive young wide receiver over the previous two years, was inconsistent and too often a non-factor.
