Scouting Report: Strengths
- Rare hand-eye coordination and agility, vision and third gear to make a living in the return game.
- Washington has the quick feet and loose hips to line up in press, where Washington has the size and strength to get physical, and then the quick feet to mirror.
- Good instincts and anticipation reads and reacts with discipline. Dangerous with the ball in his hands.
- Plays the ball as if it was thrown for him, showing burst back to the ball as well as good timing for the jump ball.
- Tracks the ball well and has the natural ball skills for forcing turnovers.
- He’s physical at the line of scrimmage, showing unexpected power in his hands.
- Has the quick feet to mirror receivers underneath. He also has the fluid hips and top-end speed to turn and run downfield. Washington shows good awareness when dropping into zone coverage, with good route recognition and the ability to break quickly and cover a lot of ground.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Despite his size, he’s not an overly physical tackler. Washington might have to add some weight at the next level in order to become more physical.
- His athleticism gives him the potential to have tremendous range in coverage, but Washington is often hesitant and doesn’t seem confident in what he’s seeing.
- Gave up far too many big plays in college, especially concerning since he has recovery speed to make up for missteps.
