Scouting Notes<\/h2>

• Unreal athlete.<\/li>\n\n
• The leanest and meanest 270lbs I’ve ever seen.<\/li>\n\n
• Dominated smaller defenders as a blocker when he got his hands on them.<\/li>\n\n
• Insane power, can throw D-Linemen to the ground without much use of his lower body.<\/li>\n\n
• Great awareness to block multiple players in one play.<\/li>\n\n
• Blocks better than some of the highly regarded O-Linemen in this Draft.<\/li>\n\n
• High-end competitor.<\/li>\n\n
• Not much of a separator, but his natural size already gives him separation from Defensive Backs.<\/li>\n\n
• Still unsure in space, if he learns to be more instinctual he can be a HOF level talent.<\/li>\n\n
• Blocks way too high, defenders can easily slip under him if they are aware. He must lower his pad level.<\/li><\/ul>

  Short Summary<\/h2>

  Darnell Washington<\/a> is a UNICORN. If you thought Kyle Pitts<\/a>, was a unicorn, Washington takes that adjective to a whole other level.<\/p>

  In summary, he is massive, insanely powerful, huge, a great blocker, gigantic, a competitor, and humungous. Oh, and did I mention he is a GIANT for his position? Sure, he has some blemishes to clean up in his game, but who doesn’t? He is a lot more polished and ready than he’s given credit for, and pair that up with his unreal physical tools, he is a no-brainer Top 5 prospect for me. His ceiling is as high as it gets, and I can’t imagine how a player like him won’t produce at the next level.<\/p>

  Scouting Card Key<\/h2>

  • Age<\/strong> refers to the age of the player come draft night, rounded to the nearest half-age.<\/li>\n\n
  • Percentage numbers<\/strong> in the Player Info and Combine Stats sections – This refers to the percentile that number belongs to among all players at his position, going back nearly a decade.<\/li>\n\n
  • Percentiles<\/strong> in the Advanced Stats portion for cumulative stats are snap-adjusted. In other words, naturally, a player with more snaps will allow more sacks. Therefore, the percentiles are calculated using the snap-adjusted number, rather than the straight-forward total.<\/li>\n\n
  • PBLK Grade<\/strong> – PFF Pass Block Grade.<\/li>\n\n
  • RBLK Grade<\/strong> – PFF Run Block Grade.<\/li>\n\n
  • Block%<\/strong> – The percentage of a player’s snaps he was a designated blocker, as opposed to a receiver.<\/li>\n\n
  • Drop%<\/strong> – Drop rate, or the percentage of overall targets that were dropped.<\/li>\n\n
  • CTT, CTC%<\/strong> – Contested Targets &amp;amp; Contested Catch Rate.<\/li>\n\n
  • Y\/RR<\/strong> – Yards per route run.<\/li>\n\n
  • Drive<\/strong> – Leg drive, or the ability to not only hold your ground as a blocker, but to drive the defender backwards.<\/li>\n\n
  • Radius<\/strong> – Catch radius size and usage.<\/li><\/ul>
