Devastating news came out of Washington today, as it was reported that second year Wide Receiver Kelvin Harmon tore his ACL.
The former sixth round pick was set to compete for the number two WR position for the upcoming season after a promising rookie campaign. Harmon, alongside Terry McLaurin and Steven Sims Jr., were the leaders of the youth movement at the receiver position and were seen in multiple pictures and videos this off-season working out with QB Dwayne Haskins.
#Redskins WR Kelvin Harmon tore his ACL while training prior to camp, sources say. The promising former sixth rounder, who had 30 catches for 365 yards last season as a rookie, now has eyes on 2021.

Of the trio, Harmon was the player in the best position to have a breakout year. He finished his rookie season with 30 receptions for 365 yards, while proving to be an aggressive run blocker. His size, strong hands, and deceptive speed were surely going to be a welcomed addition to Scott Turner’s offense.

According to his own twitter account, the receiver underwent surgery last week.
Surgery went well last week, I’ll be back better than ever

Now with Harmon sidelined for the season, the Washington’s fourth round pick WR Antonio Gandy-Golden will have more opportunities unless the organization looks to bring in a veteran WR. We wish Kelvin Harmon all the best and can’t wait to see him back on the field in 2021!
