Mason/Brennan Preseason Hype! Awards: 2018 Redskins Offseason Edition. Who’s got the hype! The Mason/Brennan Preseason Hype! Award has been given out unofficially by the fans for years to each preseason's most hyped players Montez Sweat Jersey , but now we've made it official, and will bring it to a vote. This week's vote will cover the entire offseason leading up to Thursday’s game against the Patriots. Place your vote for who you feel has been the most hyped player up to this point, whether the hype is deserved or not.The Rules:1. Player must have been drafted late or signed by the Redskins as an undrafted free agent. Players that have only been on other teams practice squads that are signed by the team are also eligible.2. A player that has been on the team for several years is still eligible if most of that time has been spent on the practice squad, inactive, or with very limited productivity/timeHow have past Mason/Brennan winners done in thr NFL after receiving this glorious award?The Candidates:CB Danny JohnsonJohnson has been getting love from a lot of people since joining the Redskins as an UDFA this year. The most important love of all has come from Head Coach Jay Gruden who mentions him a lot during his pressers. Johnson has been making plays throughout camp, and is expected to shine in the preseason. Many people have him as a sleeper for the last spot in the secondary. His hype is on the rise.OLB Pete RobertsonPete Robinson as most fans still call him will make people remember his name in the preseason. Robinson is another player that gets official hype from his head coach, and from fellow players including his cousin Trent Williams. Robinson will push to have the team keep a 5th OLB this year.WR Maurice HarrisIs Harris still eligible for this award after being in 16 games for the Redskins over his two year career? Hell yes he is. 12 career catches and the best TD catch of the season last year hasn’t knocked him out of the Hype! awards just yet. Harris was an UDFA two years ago and was cut before last season started. He wasn’t activated until November, but his believers have faith that he should be getting a lot more playing time. He has had a phenomenal camp, could this be his year to actually do something consistently?CB Adonis AlexanderSupplemental 6th round draft picks have ZERO chance of being cut this year Wes Martin Jersey , or so I have been told. Alexander was a hyped player last year, but took a fall and the Skins were able to scoop him up for the low, low price of a 2019 6th round pick. He has all the physical tools to make it, and that’s what people are investing their hype bucks in. ILB Shaun Dion HamiltonAnother Bama to add to the collection. SDH has been getting rave reviews from coaches and is already getting labeled a late-round steal. He's a smart player who had major injuries in college end his last two seasons. He's gonna shine in preseason if he stays healthy.S Quin BlandingHe should have been drafted higher...or at all! Blanding is another player Redskins fans have hyped up as a potential steal at safety, a position fans and the team have needed an answer at for years. He was one of the highlights of a decent UDFA class that people are hoping can stick around this year.ILB Josh Harvey-ClemonsWhat is more important than Head Coach hype? Getting the Ken Meringolo hype seal of approval! JHC has been a certified hype machine in camp and is the first one in at ILB when either starter isn’t available. Another physical hype player who has some things the Redskins defense have been missing. And those Kam Chancellor draft comparisons...WR Cam SimsWR? check. 6’5”? check. Making plays in camp in drills designed for the receiver to have an advantage? check. We've have all the ingredients for a presesson hype monster here.S Kenny LadlerCan a former CFL star make it on the Redskins, or will he be heading north after the roster cuts next month. Ladler has a lot of the beat guys penciling his name in as a sleeper candidate to make the team, and has been all over the field in training camp.WR Trey QuinnTrey Quinn was insulted when he heard he was nominated for this award, and immediately gave me an award for being an idiot(this is proudly displayed in my living room next to my journalism degree from Yuengling University). Mr. Irrelevant is the favorite son of fans and coaches alike. He has been called a lock to make the roster by 97% of the world, and the other 3% are on the list. This hype has broken every measuring device we have at Hogs Haven. What happens next?"The assault charges against Redskins safety Montae Nicholson have been dropped due to insufficient evidence according to Kareem Copeland. This is great news for Nicholson Dwayne Haskins Redskins Jersey , and for the Redskins.Nicholson was arrested on December 18, 2018 for assault and battery and drunk in public following a night of drinking at World of Beer with his fiance. and both of them were arrested. Video of the fight was released by TMZ the following day. The Redskins placed Nicholson on their Reserve/Non-Football Injury List later that evening, ending Nicholson's disappointing 2018 season.The question now that his legal troubles are apparently over is whether the league will discipline Nicholson for the crime of getting caught on video. He already served a two game suspension from the team last year.Redskins management seemed hopeful, but cautious around draft time this year, and they did not address the safety position until after the draft ended. The Redskins cut D.J. Swearinger last year and signed Landon Collins to a big contract. If Nicholson is available Week 1, he would likely be the starter, unless some mystery player steps up in a huge way.Doug Williams: "Montae Nicholson has some things he needs to clean up and we don’t know. It’s unfair to put him in anywhere right now until he can take care of himself.”Jay Gruden: “We’re just waiting to see what happens. But, yeah. I think he should be ready.”
