RotoWire NFL Articles on Mike Washington Jr.

Washington's elite athleticism and preseason pass-game work position him as clear next-man-up in Kubiak's system.

Washington is unproven at the professional level but popped off against tough SEC defenses in 2025 (19-131-1 vs. Tennessee, 16-147-0 vs. Texas A&M, 17-105-1 vs. Texas) and is one of the freakier athletes the position has seen. Easily worked ahead of No. 3 RB Dylan Laube in preseason—surprisingly even on pass downs (10 routes vs. 2)—and is already the clear next-man-up behind workhorse starter Ashton Jeanty; Klint Kubiak's track record engineering good offenses (2024 Saints, 2025 Seahawks) provides tiebreaker for RB9 ranking.
