Ryan Fitzpatrick will have the talent to succeed in Washington. Curtis Samuel and Terry McLaurin are full of speed. Antonio Gibson showed flashes of greatness last season.

Ron Rivera had a successful first year as Washington head coach after making a playoff appearance. Washington made the playoffs without a starting quarterback. As the defense remains the same, Washington will turn to Chase Young and company to lead the way in 2021.
