After his impre sive performance in the postseason last year and due to Allen's unfortunate injury, Heinicke will be the No. 2. A big shoutout to Patterson, as the hometown kid who went undrafted out of Buffalo made the final roster at running back. He was a candidate for preseason MVP after rushing for 110 yards and one touchdown to go along with 70 receiving yards in three preseason games.It's no longer McLaurin vs. the world at wide receiver, as Samuel will come in and make an immediate impact on this offense. Washington also has an intriguing receiver in the rookie Brown out of Jaycob Megna Women Jersey UNC. He was advertised to be just a speedster, but really looks like a well-rounded receiver who can play right away.
