The Facts: There's no other way to say it: Dotson has been electric this offseason. From the first time he stepped on the field during rookie minicamp, Dotson has been one of the Commanders’ best offensive players. All the traits that enticed Washington to draft him -- specifically his route-running and hands -- have been on full display, and he's received heaps of praise from Wentz for it. "He's awesome," QB Carson Wentz said. "He's a quiet kid, young kid, but he's a hard worker. He's smart, he's instinctual. He catches the football as natural as anybody I've been around, just how natural he plucks it out of the air."
Diehards Line:According to Zach Selby of the team's official website, Dotson was one of Wentz's favorite targets during OTAs and minicamp, and it was easy to see why. Dotson had a habit of being open with rookie and veteran defensive backs alike being left trailing him. It's also clear to offensive coordinator Scott Turner that getting first team reps is "not to big for him." "He's playing fast," Turner said. "He's consistently getting separation; he's catching the ball. He doesn't say a lot. He just kind of comes out here and works, which is good." Granted, practicing well in June does not equal to balling out during the season, but it is a good sign that the rookie is heading in the right direction.
