Finishes season strong Reaves started three of his nine games in 2020, recording 25 tackles (15 solo), two pass defenses, one sack and one interception.
Impact Reaves took over as a starter when Deshazor Everett was placed on IR after Week 14. The third-year pro had 10 tackles in the playoff loss to Tampa Bay and finished as PFF's No. 4 graded safety, logging 262 defensive snaps in the regular season and 74 more in the playoffs. Reaves, Everett, Kamren Curl and Landon Collins (Achilles) are all under contract with Washington for at least one more season, so the team has a few different options for handling the safety spots in 2021. It remains to be seen if Reaves' solid performance over a small sample will be enough to put him in the mix for a starting job.

Covers the slot all year Moreland started five of 16 games in 2020, recording 44 tackles (33 solo), one interception and one forced fumble on 599 defensive snaps.
Impact The 2019 seventh-round pick has largely served as Washington's slot corner through two pro seasons, and while nobody will mistake him for a shutdown cover man, Moreland probably did enough to keep the same role in 2021. There is some chance he gets to compete for a starting role outside, especially if the team doesn't re-sign Ronald Darby.

Leads team in sacks Sweat had a team-high nine sacks in 2020, adding 45 tackles (28 solo), six pass defenses, two forced fumbles and an interception returned for a touchdown.
Impact The 2019 first-round pick played 64.0 percent of Washington's defensive snaps as a rookie and 66.3 percent as a sophomore, starting all 16 games both times. The 2020 performance wasn't exactly a breakout, but Sweat did finish with two more sacks (nine) and seven more QB hits (20) than the previous year, earning PFF's 11th-best grade (80.0) out of 112 qualified edge rushers. Teammate Chase Young was No. 6, so Sweat should have plenty of one-on-one pass-rush opportunities in the seasons to come. The 24-year-old has two seasons remaining on his rookie contract, which can be extended through 2023 via the fifth-year option. It'll be an easy choice for Washington to pick up that option if Sweat's 2021 campaign looks anything like his 2020 output.

Leads team in INTs Fuller played 14 games in 2020, recording 50 tackles (38 solo), 11 pass defenses and four interceptions on 892 snaps.
Impact Traded from Washington to Kansas City in 2018, the Maryland native re-signed with his original team last offseason on a four-year, $40 million contract. Fuller lived up to the deal in Year 1, playing 99.2 percent of defensive snaps in his 14 active games and leading the team in interceptions. PFF graded him at No. 44 among 122 qualified cornerbacks, with Fuller taking 83 percent of his snaps on the perimeter. He also has experience playing safety and nickelback, so it's possible he'll find more tackle opportunities in 2021, though it might require a teammate missing time with an injury.

Stays healthy all season Darby was a 16-game starter in 2020, recording 55 tackles (43 solo), 16 pass defenses and a fumble recovery on 1,001 defensive snaps.
Impact Darby was fifth in the league in PDs, yet didn't record a single interception. PFF graded him at No. 31 out of 122 qualified cornerbacks, 13 spots ahead of teammate Kendall Fuller. Washington more than got its money's worth on a one-year, $3 million contract, so it'll likely be far more expensive if the team wants to keep Darby around for 2021 and beyond. Granted, other franchises may have some concerns about his medical history, as the 27-year-old cornerback played just 28 games in his three seasons (2017-19) with the division-rival Eagles.
