After going 3-13 in the 2019 regular season, the Washington Redskins pick No. 2 overall in the 2020 NFL Draft. It’s a familiar place for a franchise that’s wallowed in mediocrity for two decades, but the hope is that this “rock bottom” will be a spawning ground for a new age of greatness.
There’s reason to be optimistic, as the Redskins have hired Ron Rivera as the head coach, and promoted college scouting director Kyle Smith to Vice President of Pro Personnel. Rivera’s staff seems motivated to rekindle the kind of historic success that the Redskins had long ago, and fans are excited what comes from this turn of the era.
