Washington's draft projection will be challenging as evaluators determine how best to utilize the ability he showed against Florida last season. In that game, Washington was pretty much unguardable, using speed, route running, cut quickness and ball skills to torment coverage. He flashes those elements in most games but his catch focus and play intensity can be a little erratic from time to time. Washington is a highly instinctive kick and punt returner, which only adds to his value. His pro day testing numbers and NFLPA Collegiate Bowl practice week failed to match what was on tape against Florida, but if he finds it as a pro, he will become a productive starting slot receiver with the chance to make his mark on special teams, as well.
