Without Niles Paul and Trent Williams, the Redskins will need contributions from multiple different players to keep up the diversity in formations and play-calling on offense.
There was no Redskins player that embodied the saying “look beyond the box score” more than tight end Niles Paul. After missing the entire 2015 season due to injury, Paul’s 2016 campaign has been cut in half as he’ll miss the final eight games due to a labrum injury.
Paul became a key member of the Redskins passing attack in 2014, totaling 39 catches for 507 yards and a touchdown, providing a useful complement to standout tight end Jordan Reed.
