Dotson had 3 catches, 40 yards and a pair of touchdowns in his first professional game, helping lead the Commanders to a 28-22 win over the Jaguars. His first touchdown came in the second quarter on a 7-yard pass and his second came on a 24-yard pass to give the Commanders the lead with less than 2 minutes to play.
He will look to have another big game against the Lions on Sunday.
Dotson played 4 seasons at Penn State before he was selected 16th overall in the 2022 NFL Draft. In his final season with the Nittany Lions, Dotson recorded 1,182 yards and 12 touchdowns on 91 receptions. Dotson was First-team All-Big 10 in his senior season.
