The Facts: McKissic is coming off a neck injury and is a pending free agent. Washington wants to re-sign him and lacks anyone else like him on the roster. "He's a vital part of what they do," ESPN NFL analyst Matt Bowen said.
Diehards Line:
McKissic was a terrific signing in 2020 but dealt with injuries this past season. He played in parts of 11 games, but he's caught 47 passes in two years with Washington. His versatility, owing to his days as a college receiver, enables Washington to use him on a variety of routes and has made him an ideal compliment to starter Antonio Gibson. We'll be watching to see if McKissic makes it to the open market in coming weeks.
