Mike Washington Jr. Runs Fastest 40-Yard Dash Among RBs
Arkansas running back Mike Washington Jr. ran an official 4.33-second 40-yard dash on Saturday at the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis, which was the fastest time among all RBs, according to NFL.com. Making it even more impressive, Washington isn't small at 6-foot-1, 223 pounds. In his final collegiate season with the Razorbacks last year, he ran for a career-best 1,070 yards and eight touchdowns on 167 rushing attempts, adding 28 catches for 226 yards and another score in 12 games played. Washington may have solidified his place as one of the top RB prospects in this year's draft class, as he has speed, agility, and quickness out of the backfield after five collegiate seasons that also included stops at Buffalo and New Mexico State. Washington has been projected as more of a mid-round pick, but depending on where he lands in the NFL, he could be in line for notable first-year touches out of the backfield.
