However, the Raiders drafting Arkansas tailback Mike Washington Jr. in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft can mitigate that. A much bigger running back at 6-foot-2 and 228 pounds along with 4.33-second 40-yard dash timed speed, the 122nd overall pick in the draft dazzled with 168 yards rushing on 23 carries in preseason play.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Fourth-round rookie Washington impressed in preseason (168 yards, 23 carries); under-the-radar depth option.

Fourth-round pick (122nd overall) from Arkansas provides depth and potential mitigation for Jeanty's pass-protection and check-down duties; at 6-foot-2, 228 pounds with 4.33-second 40-yard dash, Washington demonstrated preseason production of 168 rushing yards on 23 carries; offensive coordinator Andrew Janocko noted: 'Mike's done a lot of good things well. He's come in here, he's competed every single day...excited to see how that translates to a real ball game'; source characterizes him as 'under the radar' type with requisite size, speed, and willingness for Kubiak system demands.
