The initial thought going into Washington’s 2021 rookie mini-camp was that practice squad QB, Stephen Montez, would be the one passing and handing off to the rookies. Apparently, as a result of spending too much time on the 53-man roster in 2020, he wasn’t eligible to do so. In a last minute swap, Washington brought in former XFL stand-out Jordan Ta’amu to fill the role.
I actually liked Ta’amu a lot a couple of years ago as a late round prospect. He had been fairly mobile and accurate at Ole Miss and seemed to fit the mold of the multi-faceted QB that has had success in the NFL over the last decade or so.
