A Washington Redskins passing game that ranked second among league leaders last season will take on a much different look in 2017.

With both DeSean Jackson and Pierre Garcon having departed through free agency, former Cleveland Browns wideout Terrelle Pryor will be stepping into fill the void.

The newly signed wide receiver, who should be a heavy favorite to emerge as the top target for Kirk Cousins, recently spent time working out with his new quarterback in Florida.

"It was about him getting my timing down," Pryor said, according to John Keim of ESPN. "There were a couple routes I had to run a couple times because he's a timing thrower, and he throws it to spots. But we'll get there. When we get there Monday, we'll go two or three times a week and work on that as well. I was eager. It was great to work with him and get to know him."

Given his history as a quarterback, both in college and at the outset of his NFL career, Pryor knows all about both sides of the all-important passing game connection. The former Ohio State star appears encouraged by the way he and Cousins are already communicating.

"He'll take that info in and say, 'I really like that,'" Pryor said. "That's how I knew me and him would click. We're going to do well."

Pryor will enter his first season in Washington looking to build upon a stellar debut season at receiver in Cleveland. Starting all but one of his 16 appearances, the 27-year-old racked up an impressive 77 receptions for 1007 yards, and four touchdowns.
