The Washington Redskins drafted Josh Doctson No. 21 overall in the 2016 NFL Draft. The pick was viewed as future insurance, as the Redskins were slated to lose one or both of Pierre Garcon and DeSean Jackson in the next offseason (they lost both).
When he was drafted by the Redskins, Josh Doctson inherited two titles: Successor to productive veterans, and first-round pick. Naturally, the expectations for the TCU product skyrocketed, much like he did on his own college tape, snagging 50-50 balls out of the air with uncanny vertical athletic ability.
Doctson’s rookie year came and went with two receptions, one of which went for 57 yards.
