The Facts: Mix has caught just three NFL passes, but he might end up as the Redskins' No. 3 receiver. With Brandon Lloyd cut, Reche Caldwell gone as a free agent and Keenan McCardell unlikely to return at age 38, Mix is the most experienced receiver other than James Thrash to back up starters Santana Moss and Antwaan Randle El.
Diehards Line:And unlike Moss, Randle El and Thrash, who are all under 6 feet, the 6-5, 235-pound Mix could be the big receiver the Redskins have lacked in recent years. "I want to take a hard look at Anthony because of his size," said new HC Jim Zorn, whose West Coast offense functions best with at least one big target. "He didn't get to do a lot last year. Maybe he didn't get an opportunity because he was young. I want to take a hard look at who [all] these guys are and how they fit into our system."
