But when you weigh the total profile:

Size ✅
Speed ✅
Explosion ✅
Power through contact✅

Mike Washington Jr. brings answers most backs don’t.

The upside outweighs the concerns.
That’s why he’s my RB3 in the 2026 class.

Thank you for reading this.

Mike Washington Jr. has nuance

Inside zone patience and vision work.
Outside zone is limited due to frame and hip tightness.

Pass protection: technique, leverage, and processing need refinement. Development NEEDED.

These are real concerns.
#RBguy

His Relative Athletic Score ranks 28th all‑time among RBs.

RAS: 9.88

At 223 lbs the power at contact, force through tackles, and ability to sustain speed through impact has my attention!

Mike Washington Jr.’s power is leverage‑driven. His 223 lbs with pad level discipline creates constant advantages at contact. Defenders end up reacting instead of controlling.

Mike Washington Jr. 👀

6'1 / 223 with a 4.33,
elite jumps,
and arm length you almost never see at RB.

This isn’t a normal athletic profile.
Worth sitting with.

#RBguy

Those comps…🤫

Mike Washington Jr.’s measurables in the 80th–90th percentiles across size, speed, and explosion.

It shows up in stride length, force through contact, and the ability to turn small creases into explosives.

Traits that should scale with NFL volume. See the comps! 🧐😳

Looking at everything that’s publicly available, Seth McGowan has done the work to change and move forward. His evaluation should include accountability and growth.

I see maturity in this story as I read more about him. Appealing. Interesting.

Seahawks Bears or Dallas maybe?🤔
