Throughout Redskins' 2018 Season, Defense Will Face Top-Flight Quarterbacks

The Washington Redskins will face plenty of talented offenses in 2018, most of which are led by quarterbacks taken in the first round of various NFL Drafts over the years.

Of the Redskins’ eight home opponents, seven of the starting signal-callers will be former first-round picks: Matt Ryan, Cam Newton, Deshaun Watson, Aaron Rodgers, Carson Wentz, Eli Manning and Andrew Luck. Five of those quarterbacks were taken in the top three picks and three were taken first overall.

This caliber of quarterback will be the ideal test for a Redskins defense that has recently reloaded with healthy playmakers and fresh talent.
