Scouting Report: Strengths

• Washington is a huge tight end standing 6-7 and weighing in at 270lbs - who has the power and drive-blocking ability of a tackle
• As a blocker Washington is elite, he stands out as elite as a run blocker and you could easily mistake him for a seasoned pulling guard
• As a pass blocker he is outstanding and easily handles blitzing LBs on the edge. In the 72 instances when he was used strictly in pass protection he didn't give up a single pressure
• Elite catch radius and has impressive soft strong hands to help pull down errant passes
• He's a powerful open-field runner with agility, and surprising quickness and speed given his size
• Knee-bend and technique are good and Washington shows decent power when his hands hit the target.
• His long arms allow him to play bigger even bigger than his size, which is scary, and he has a frame that can carry even more weight
• He’s a coordinated hands catcher who does a nice job digging out low throws. He’s very good with the ball in his hands, a violent runner after the catch, and often able to fend off defenders with a straight arm.
• Washington has a tapered build and strong hands, ripping the ball back with ease when defensive backs manage to get a hold of it.
• He’s very good in contested-catch situations, using his frame effectively to make plays facing the quarterback. He also shows a knack for high-pointing the ball, consistently outmuscling defensive backs.
