You may not have forgotten, but it’s never a bad time to remind fans of the Washington Redskins that Thaddeus Moss, the National Championship winning tight end they signed after going undrafted in 2020, went the entire 2019 season without dropping a single pass.
After Moss, the son of NFL legend WR Randy Moss, was passed up by every single team in the draft, he chose to sign as a UDFA with the Redskins because they called first, passing over both the New England Patriots and Cincinnati Bengals. There’s no guarantee that he will make the final roster cut with the Redskins this fall, but seeing as they have a dire need for production at the TE position, it seems likely that he will make the cut.
Will he have another season in Washington like he did at LSU in 2019? It’s possible, but not probable. Moss is expected to be utilized for his impressive blocking ability, but earning playing time in the run-game will surely get him a few passes thrown his way, and then he can show us exactly what type of talent is really in his DNA. It’s possible that Washington found their TE of the future, and they didn’t have to use a single draft pick to get him.
