He is the 58th first-round selection by the Redskins all-time since the institution of the draft in 1936. * Doctson is the 10th player from TCU selected by the Redskins all-time, joining T Wilson Groseclose (1936), Pro Football Hall of Fame QB Sammy Baugh (1937), T I.B. Hale (1939), T Weldon Edwards (1947), T Clarence Marable (1951), T Doug Conaway (1952), G John Groom (1958), RB Marcus Gilbert (1983) and LB Robert Henson (2009). * Doctson joins Baugh and Hale as the only TCU products to be selected by the Redskins in the first round. * Doctson is the fifth wide receiver selected by the Redskins in the first round in the Common Draft era, joining Pro Football Hall of Famer Art Monk (1980), Desmond Howard (1992), Michael Westbrook (1995) and Rod Gardner (2001). * Doctson is the first wide receiver selected by the Redskins in the first round since 2001 when the team selected Rod Gardner with the No. 15 overall pick. * Doctson is the second player selected by the Redskins all-time with the No. 22 overall pick, joining B Lonnie Sanders (1963).
