The Mason/Brennan Preseason Hype! Award has been given out unofficially by the fans for years to each preseason's most hyped players, but now we've made it official, and will bring it to a vote.
This week's vote will cover the hyp leading up to and including last Thursday’s game against the Browns and beyond. 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/time
How have past Mason/Brennan winners done in pro football after receiving this glorious award?
Offseason Mason/Brennan Winner: CB Jimmy Moreland (70%)
The Candidates:
CB Jimmy Moreland
Jimmy "The People's Corner" Moreland has been an absolute hype machine since getting drafted. That hype went to new levels after his performance last Thursday against the Browns. He was everywhere, and stopping Browns drives left and right. His greatness has allowed the Redskins to move on from Josh Norman, there's a new #1 CB in town!

Against the Browns, rookie CB Jimmy Moreland had:

-3 pass break ups
-2 forced fumbles (Both in the red zone, both recovered)
So I broke down his performance and where he fits in with the #Redskins final 53-man roster https://t.co/TUVLRTly3g
OLB Cassanova McKinzy
There were some small hype waves for Cassanova heading into Week 1, but he just missed the cut. He's here now, and he reminded people of the promise he showed in limited time last year. "We haven't had an OLB who could bend like that since..."
#Redskins OLB Cassanova McKinzy caught the eye in the preseason opener with his pass rush. Showed the ability to get low and bend around the corner, as seen in this clip. Also showed he has more to his game than just that. More on McKinzy here: https://t.co/FgHizB3a1d pic.twitter.com/iHeUGwqb8s

Cassanova McKinzy is doing what he did last August. The guy can rush the quarterback. He beats backups handily. I would be curious to see him against a starting tackle. #Redskins

ILB Josh Harvey-Clemons
Harvey-Clemons has been on this ballot for the last two seasons, and he’s not going anywhere...yet. We were ready to drop him until the amazing news came out that he gained weight this year (240 lbs!). This...changes...everything!
Josh Harvey-Clemons showing his vert and length on that play. NICE! If you can’t get there, get up!

WR Kelvin Harmon
The Kelvin Harmon love affair continues on Hogs Haven. I have read multiple times in the last week that we can absolutely not afford to cut Harmon, and try to get him on the practice squad. This receiver who fell to the 6th round and has 2 preseason receptions on his resume needs to make the team.
Little late tweeting this, Kelvin Harmon blew up a DB run blocking. I’ve talked about this aspect of his game a lot. Blocking is an area he takes pride in, and I’ve said before he’s very good about doing the non-glamorous things #HTTR

WR Robert Davis
Davis has been a pleasant surprise this offseason. I don't know anyone that expected him back for the preseason, and there he was catching the Redskins first( and only) TD of the night. It was a broken play, and he tried to catch it with his face, but it was a 46 yard TD from Redskins starting QB Case Keenum.

WR Cam Sims
Cam only had two targets and 1 reception last week. They obviously already know the starting talent/#1 WR they have and didn't wsnt to overuse him in the preseason. Cam is a big factor in the the plan for the replace Josh Doctson crowd.
This play was his best of the game. Spins out of a sack, resets and keeps his eyes down field. Then on the run delivers an accurate, catchable pass in the corner of the end zone. Cam Sims gets both hands on it but can’t haul it in. This is an elite play by Dwayne Haskins. pic.twitter.com/0NvRVFJuJ2

WR Darvin Kidsy Jr.
Kidsy was Dwayne Haskins favorite target, and he racked up the most yards in the preseason opener. Those two facts guarantee a spot on this list every week.
