Analysis:
Washington is a question mark due to an abbreviated career and durability troubles in college, but the last thing in doubt is Washington's athleticism. He ran in the 4.4-second range at his pro day, adding a 127-inch broad jump. He's a long shot to see playing time even if he makes the team, but the possibility of Washington outplaying the likes of Stevan Ridley and George Winn shouldn't be entirely ignored.
