"Leonard Hankerson is gonna be a star”

Rex Grossman was asked about the team’s rookie receivers.

“Leonard Hankerson is gonna be a star,” Grossman said. “He started to make a bunch of plays on scout team, one-handed [catches] over the middle, just unbelievable catches, and started to gain a bunch of confidence. And it carried over to the game once they put him in there. He’s a big, fast, smooth route runner and is gonna be a playmaker and a starter for the Redskins for a long time. Niles Paul is the other rookie, just a big, strong, fast [guy], solid as a rock. Really good in the run game at blocking, just hasn’t had the opportunity to make a lot of plays down the field, but he can do that as well.”
