New York Jets sign former Washington Redskins WR Josh Doctson

The New York Jets have announced the signing of wide receiver Josh Doctson.

Doctson, 27, is a former first-round pick, chosen 22nd overall by the Washington Redskins in 2016. He earned his first-round status with 179 receptions worth 2,784 yards and 29 touchdowns over three years at TCU after a single season with Wyoming. Those latter two marks continue to stand as program records with Fort Worth.

Doctson led the Redskins with six touchdown receptions in 2017. Over three years, he picked up 81 receptions for 1,100 yards and eight touchdowns. Washington declined their fifth-year option on Doctson last season and outright released him last August.
