Santana Moss might be odd man out in Redskins' WR group

The Washington Redskins believe Robert Griffin III represents the answer to a longstanding question at quarterback.

Here's the next question: Who will he throw to?

Rosenthal explored this topic Monday, citing the somewhat awkward makeup of a receiving group in Washington that lacks a clear star, but offers depth.

The top four wideouts read as follows, in no official order: Pierre Garçon, Josh Morgan, Leonard Hankerson and Santana Moss.

Coach Mike Shanahan hinted Sunday that Moss might be the odd man out in three-receiver sets.

"We'll let that play out," Shanahan told The Washington Post, "but when you go after a guy like (Garçon) and you go after a guy like (Morgan), you've got a guy like Leonard Hankerson, you know there are three guys right at the top of the list that are playmakers, and that's what we're looking for."

Last season was a mess for Moss. His 46 catches for 584 yards and four scores were partly the result of a broken hand that sidelined him for four games. Shanahan indicated Moss never really hit his groove after the injury, but complemented the wideout's ability to get back into shape.

Moss turns 34 this season. His starting days appear over, but we're having this conversation in May. His experience is an asset and, besides, in today's NFL, a fourth receiver has an ample chance to show he belongs higher up the list.
