Redskins young receiving corps could be in for growing pains

While the Washington Redskins were able to make some upgrades to some of their weaknesses during the 2019 offseason, one of the positions that was a major question mark was receiver. The team’s receiving corps looked unproven at best and underwhelming at the worst for most of the offseason. But during final cuts, the Redskins fully shaped their receiving corps and ended up embracing a youth movement at the position.

To begin with, the Redskins moved on from former first-round bust Josh Doctson. The fourth-year receiver was entering a lame-duck year and despite the team’s best efforts to trade him, they couldn’t find an offer.
