2015 NFL Scouting Combine: 2/17/15 – 2/23/15 – NFL Network
Linebackers – Work out on 2/22/15
7. Tony Washington, OLB – Oregon (6-4, 250) Projected Round – 5th-6th. Tony Washington played well in Oregon’s playoff run to the National Championship game. He showed good pass rushing ability and a headiness for the game. However, needs to improve on his explosiveness off the edge.
What to Watch for? His shuttle run time and bench press. Washington needs to put up a good time in the shuttle run, as this will be a good indicator of his explosiveness. If the Redskins don’t take an outside linebacker early in the draft, they may look to Washington in the later rounds.
