Quarterback turned slot receiver with the competitiveness and traits offering reasonable expectations for rapid improvements. Hinton's route running is filled with inefficiencies that limit his separation effectiveness and create too many contested catches. However, it's worth noting that improvements could be seen in his route running by midseason and he possesses natural ball-winning skills that should help him in his process. There is enough toughness and athleticism to bank on as a Day 3 selection with the potential to develop into a solid NFL backup.
Washington's size and length could make him a compelling late-rounder or undrafted free agent due to his ability to win jump balls down the field and create stress in the red zone. He's a long strider with a feel for passing and stacking cornerbacks down the field, but fails to play to his size and push people around when it's time to create and maintain his catch space. He is likely to struggle with physical, press-man cornerbacks and his durability is going to be a red flag for some teams. The size and ball skills are a plus, and might be enough to get him an extended look.
