The old saying that “Speed Kills” is alive and well in today’s NFL. Teams that have it thrive; teams that don’t, suffer.
The Washington Redskins are a team that lacks speed, both offensively and defensively, and their brand of football suffers because of this.
The goal heading into the 2018 off-season on offense was to get a deep weapon for new quarterback Alex Smith. The Redskins went to the free agent market and sign Seahawks speed wide receiver Paul Richardson. The former Colorado Buffalo is a legit 4.40 guy, who also possesses quick-twitch ability, and short-area burst.
