Mike Washington Jr.

Washington has a stout, muscular frame. He's an upright runner with solid contact balance and above-average burst with the long speed to hit a crease and take it to the house. In 2025, he was 12th in runs of 15 yards or more and 17th in breakaway rate. Washington has a starter/three-down skill set. Washington has solid but not outstanding lateral agility. He can make people miss and take advantage of cut-back opportunities with his nimble feet, but his hips are tight, which can limit him at times. Washington runs with power and can lower his shoulder when needed. Washington is a better pass catcher than his yards per route run would suggest. He has a soft set of hands that led to only one drop in his final collegiate season. While he might never be a player that is "featured" in the passing game, he has the necessary skills to operate as a three-down back. Washington is already a solid pass protector. He has the play strength to hold his ground and the foot quickness to adjust to incoming rushers. Over the last two seasons (140 pass blocking snaps), he allowed only one sack and six hurries.
