Yahoo Sports NFL on Mike Washington Jr.
From the article
Washington wasn't a good receiver or pass protector at Arkansas, and that has carried over into the NFL. Hence why Dylan Laube got more playing time last week.
STACKED’s take
Washington underutilized despite Kubiak draft interest; poor pass protection, receiving.
Washington is not getting more reps despite reports that Kubiak wanted to draft him. The source cites multiple reasons: Washington wasn't a good receiver or pass protector at Arkansas, and that has carried over into the NFL, which is why Dylan Laube got more playing time last week. Washington also had a bad game against the Chiefs with a missed or bad read that would have resulted in a touchdown, and Kubiak may have overreacted to that in New England. Additionally, being down 28-7 after the first position in the third quarter means the offense doesn't have enough time left to run the ball much in the second half. The rookie running back's workload will be something to monitor this Sunday.
