Baring an injury, it'd be a massive shock if he beat out Ashton Jeanty for the starting job, and the rest of the running back room is a collection of unproven talent.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Washington likely locks up RB2 role with unproven competition.

The source projects Washington's best-case scenario as winning the RB2 job, noting that he has the least variable outcome of the entire draft class heading into training camp. Barring an injury, it would be a massive shock if he beat out Ashton Jeanty for the starting job, and the rest of the running back room is a collection of unproven talent with Dylan Laube and Chris Collier being veterans with barely any regular-season experience, while Roman Hemby enters as an undrafted rookie.
