Fourth-round pick shows home-run ability in preseason; Kubiak's zone scheme plan off to great start.

Las Vegas Raiders drafted Washington Jr. in the fourth round of the 2026 draft as part of a smash-mouth football vision pairing him with Ashton Jeanty. Kubiak's plan is to get Washington Jr. in space using a wide zone scheme (contrasting his Arkansas gap-scheme background); in the first preseason game, Washington Jr. produced 63 yards on six carries with a 53-yard explosive run, demonstrating home-run ability and intriguing one-two punch potential with Jeanty.
