This is your chance for ground floor entry. Huge PPR potential here. Smooth route runner. Balls stick to his baby soft hands. Quicker than a hiccup in space. Workaholic. A QB's best BFF. He is returning both kickoffs and punts in camp right now. Word is he is only one of both those groups yet to put the ball on the ground. I can see him taking over both duties from Crowder who has been too inconsistent with return duties. Speaking of Crowder and inconsistent.... Quinn is a ready-made replacement for Crowder if Crowder doesn't step up quick this year.Who? Trey "Hype Rocket" Quinn
What position does he play? Hint: Led all of college football in catches
Who drafted him? Redskins
Inquiring minds are mostly ambivalent but also bored so what's the deal? Deal is: get on board or get out the way.

Jay Gruden calls Trey Quinn a “silent assassin” and adds he’s a very “QB friendly target”
10:41 AM - Jun 6, 2018 · Ashburn, VA
Wow man that is very harshAs a Skins fan, I hate to make this comparison but his profile reminds me of that inbred P.O.S. Cole Beasley.
Gruden seems to like him, but he can't play outside and won't pass Crowder this year. Maybe in 2019.
Can't believe there isn't a thread for this guy.
Led all of college football in catches last year. Pitched in no-hitter in the Little League World Series. This kid has it all. Word out of early camp has him impressing big time.
Half as good? He’ll be lucky to reach 1% of the giant ball of potential that is Jordan Reed!Is he half as good as everyone is saying???
Good call, Jordan Reed has the 2nd or 3rd most potential at his postion when healthy. It makes sense to say if healthy Hype Rocket could do aobut the same. If you had him in dynasty would you offer him for a 1st next year or just hold?Half as good? He’ll be lucky to reach 1% of the giant ball of potential that is Jordan Reed!
(Seriously, the best thing he has going for him is the complete lack of established receiving talent ahead of him on the depth chart. He may not come strong right away, but he could easily stick and hang around long enough to master the NFL game with no one challenging him for roster space. Excellent taxi squad stash IMO.)
I would not expect to get a first from a guy I probably got in the 3rd (or later) this year. If someone offered me that, I’d break my mouse clicking accept.Good call, Jordan Reed has the 2nd or 3rd most potential at his postion when healthy.

No one is going to pay a 1st rounder for this guy right now. Not even close. Holy smokes, where is that coming from?
I think he was joking - basically playing off the hype train.

Trey Quinn is the clear standout amongst the 2nd and 3rd unit WRs.
#Redskins
Wide receivers (6)
Josh Doctson, Paul Richardson, Jamison Crowder, Maurice Harris, Robert Davis, Trey Quinn
The first time I did this back in April I didn’t have Quinn on the roster. That was before he was a man among boys at rookie camp and a player who looks like he belongs when the veterans showed up.
Fortnite is the world's most popular video game these days and plenty of Redskins players partake in the phenomenon.
Adonis Alexander, for example, was on the sticks when the 'Skins took him in the supplemental draft. Then there's Derrius Guice, who streams himself on Twitch as he works through the battle-royale style action.
Yet, despite having teammates close by in the locker room who'd surely be down to join up with him, Trey Quinn has no interest in getting online with other members of the Burgundy and Gold. Why?
Because they aren't as good as him.
"I've never seen LeBron go down to the G League and play a game before, so you're not gonna see me play with those guys," Quinn said, completely seriously, after a training camp practice in Richmond. "I keep it pro-level. My expertise is so crisp that I can't be sidetracked by something like that."
It's a shame he isn't more confident, isn't it?
The last pick of the 2018 NFL Draft has always acquitted himself well with shooters, so the transition to Fortnite has gone quite smoothly. Essentially, he didn't even need to plug in his controller for a recharge before he reached legendary status.
"I'm gonna be humble right here," he said. "Through trial and error, over and over, the hours I've put in, the blood, sweat and tears on the sticks, it took maybe an hour? Then I was just a god."
Everyone approaches a match differently, and for Quinn, whether he's playing solo, duos or squads (the latter two often involve his younger brother, Carter), he prefers to keep it aggressive. Once he takes off from the Battle Bus, the wide receiver typically lands at Tilted Towers or Greasy Grove, places that get crowded and produce carnage quickly.
As for his inventory, the SMU product is versatile: he is skilled with pumps and SMGs but is most deadly with the hunting rifle, a weapon that requires extreme accuracy. When Jay Gruden referred to Quinn as a "quiet assassin" earlier this offseason, he likely had no idea how correct that statement was.
And, as you'd imagine from someone who compares himself to the king of the NBA, the 22-year-old has a scary amount of career victories. While some go days or weeks without finishing first, Quinn has done it so many times that putting a number on it is just not worth attempting to do.
"After the first two hours of playing, I lost count," he said. "It's one of those things that it doesn't even take me the typical 20 minutes to win a game. It's almost like a nuke in the old Call of Duty. As soon as we jump off the Battle Bus, the game ends."
Yeah he is fun to watch, he is very smart," Gruden said. "You don’t catch 115 balls in college unless you don’t have an idea how to get open in zones and they weren’t all bubble screens. He caught option routes, seam balls, double moves from the outside, from the inside, he did a lot of great things at SMU. He has shown his ability to move around, grasp the system, see coverage, adjust, break in and out of cuts pretty effortlessly and really, he has really, really, strong, strong, good hands. As good of hands that I’ve seen out of that position. Big strong hands so really big upside for him right now, we're teaching him mostly slot behind Jamison [Crowder] in case something happens to Jamison [Crowder], so it's great to have that depth there. He also can return punts but also has the ability to play outside.
Rookie report: Receiver Trey Quinn has impressed teammates with his savviness. He's not fast, but he understands leverage on routes and that enables him to create separation.
Holy cow, this just made me laugh out loud (and I'm a Cowboys fan). Jeez...As a Skins fan, I hate to make this comparison but his profile reminds me of that inbred P.O.S. Cole Beasley.

Did Cole bang your wife?As a Skins fan, I hate to make this comparison but his profile reminds me of that inbred P.O.S. Cole Beasley.
Hurt when hit while airborne making a catch, which he dropped.What's up with this Rocket ? Did he see time on the field against New England ?
probably a torn ACL. seems to be the trend these daysHurt when hit while airborne making a catch, which he dropped.
Havent heard anything on extent of injury.
.Houston we are ready for ignition sequence
Quinn back at practice today
Maurice Harris plays a lot of slot WR.Didn't the head coach say Crowder's MRI this week showed "something in there"? If so, I think you could be looking at a weekly starter in the slot right? And since no one else has done a damn thing in this offense in the passing game, seems he might have a chance to make a name for himself in the coming weeks. I'm on board.
skin color aside this is exactly why I've kept my eye on him to return this yearHe’s the next Thielen
Trey Quinn - WR - Redskins
Redskins WR Trey Quinn will start in Week 11 against the Texans.
Quinn will start in three-wide sets with Jamison Crowder (ankle) sidelined. He'll get most of his snaps from the slot, with Josh Doctson and Maurice Harris playing outside. Quinn had some training camp hype before going down with an high-ankle sprain. He's a Dynasty league flyer.
