Doctson, Josh

Card: Sage 2016
Acquired: 2017, Box Breaker
Failure: 2016, TTM C/o the Redskins

Well Josh Doctson rocketed up charts his Senior season at TCU in 2015. The receiver caught a school record 79 balls as a Senior, for 1337 yards and 14 TDs.  What’s more amazing is that he finished his career second on the school’s all-time chart despite starting his career at Wyoming, before transferring to TCU.  A master technician, Josh runs really clean routes and has pretty solid hands. Despite some injuries in 2015, he was a lock for the first round in a weak wide receiver class.

After Corey Coleman came off early, Doctson was my targeted receiver for the Texans to take, but Houston elected to go for burner speed instead and selected Will Fuller out of Notre Dame at 21.  On the very next selection the Redskins picked Doctson.  Josh suffered from really bad luck his rookie season, as an Achilles injury he got during the preseason, nagged him all year long. He finished 2016 with 2 receptions for 66 yards, before being shelved on IR for the year.  Josh started picking up steam in 2017 with 35 receptions for 502 yards and 6 TDs, including a 52 yard snag.  As the Redskins transition from Kirk Cousins to Alex Smith at quarterback, it should be interesting to see how Doctson plays into the team’s offensive plans moving forward.

I sent off for his autograph right before the preseason broke up in 2016, but I must have missed the boat on him signing as I have not seen any returns from him since that timeframe.  Luckily enough I pulled this from a leftover box of Sage that was in a discount bin at Walmart.

Morris, Stephen

Card: Topps Strata 2014
Acquired: 2017, Walmart Box Breaker

Stephen Morris played college ball at Miami (FL).  Over his college career from 2010-2013 he posted 7896 yards and 49 TDs to 30 interceptions. He was not selected in the 2014 NFL Draft, but signed a free agent contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars. For pretty much the entirety of his career he’s been relegated to the practice squad or 3rd string quarterback and while his body of preseason work has improved over the year, he has never attempted an NFL pass.

After a little over a season in Jacksonville Morris was waived in 2015. He signed with the Philadelphia Eagles and was added to their practice squad. The Colts claimed him right before Christmas and added Stephen to their active roster. With Andrew Luck ailing Morris stood a decent chance of making the team- and while he had a more impressive preseason than fellow QB Scott Tolzien, Morris was inexplicably cut before the season began.

After a year away from the NFL, Morris was signed and cut by no less than 3 teams during the 2017 off-season including the Redskins and Seahawks. On the same day as this posting, Morris was claimed off of waivers by the Houston Texans.

Carter, Tevin

leaf16_twaynesCard: Leaf Draft 2016
Acquired: 2016, Box Breaker

Tevin Carter finished off his career at Utah in smashing style, as the Las Vegas Bowl MVP recording 2 interceptions for 61 yards and a touchdown.  With the flexibility to play both Safety positions, Carter played 2 years at Utah recording 72 total tackles,  9 TFL, 1 FR, 4 pass deflections, and 4 interceptions for 147 yards.

An intriguing prospect and solid tackler, Tevin has excellent size and speed for the position.  Scouts believe that Carter still needs some polish to really get his game up to the NFL level.  Tevin looked to be a 3rd day selection or a priority free agent, but went undrafted in 2016.

He signed with the Washington Redskins who quickly listed him as a LB/S hybrid.  After not catching on with the Skins, Tevin was given a tryout by the Panthers but has not caught on with a team.
