Redskins lose potential-packed WR Simmie Cobbs as Saints sign him off practice squad

There were some who believed Simmie Cobbs would be a Day 2 pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. The big-bodied Indiana receiver was coming off a solid season, and he profiled as a potential possession-based No. 2 receiver at the NFL level. However, he somehow fell to the ranks of the undrafted, as some concerns about his overall athletic ability made him slip during the draft.

The Redskins were the lucky team that was able to land Cobbs after the draft. He joined their roster and entered into a battle for one of the final receiver spots on the roster.
