Re: Portis Endorses T.O. Coming To Washington, Would You?
A "possession receiver" describes a receiver who reliably catches short and mid-range passes designed to make first downs so that the offense may keep possession of the ball. Art Monk was considered a possession receiver. You could always go to him and he would always catch the ball no matter what. Gary Clarke was a big play receiver. You would go deep to him to get the score. (Of course, Monk would also go deep and Clarke could also catch the short ball.)
Among current Redskins, I would call Chris Cooley and James Thrash possession receivers.
Possession receivers don't seem to get elected to the Football Hall of Fame.
