The Redskins added a talented rookie (Fred Davis) to an already good crew of TEs making this a very potent unit.  26-year old Chris Cooley is the main man in the passing game for the Redskins.  He played in all 16 games for the Redskins last season and he caught 66 passes for 786 yards (11.9 avg) with 8 TD grabs.  Look for Cooley to have solid numbers again as Jason Campbell always looks for him when he’s in trouble.  Cooley has now played in 64 games in his NFL career and he has caught 231 passes for 2,608 yards (11.3 avg) with 27 TD grabs.

22-year old Fred Davis will be the #2 TE for the Redskins as a rookie.  He is a good receiver which is what the Redskins were looking for.  Davis played in 13 games (all starts) last season for USC and he caught 62 passes for 881 yards (14.2 avg) with 8 TD grabs.  Look for Davis to catch 25-30 passes as a rookie in 2008 for the Redskins.  Davis finished his career at USC playing in 48 games (26 starts) in which he caught 117 passes for 1,408 yards (12.0 avg) with 13 TD grabs.

30-year old Todd Yoder is a run blocking TE who helps out on special teams.  Yoder played in 15 games for the Redskins last season and he caught 7 passes for 97 yards (13.9 avg) with 1 TD grab.  Don’t look for Yoder to get much playing time on offense unless Cooley or Davis get injured.  Yoder has now played in 102 games in his NFL career and he has caught 36 passes for 401 yards (11.1 avg) with 4 TD grabs.

PROJECTED GRADE FOR THE 2008 SEASON:  B+
