Draft Scouting Report

Draft Scouting Report:

Rating: 83.62 (Long-term starter)

Pro Comparison: Marcedes Lewis

Summary:

Darnell Washington is a jumbo tight end who excels as an in-line blocker and a chain mover. His size and catch radius make him a difficult matchup in contested situations, but his production has been limited. His value lies with his ability to block on the edge, and that could make him more enticing to a team that runs more outside zone.

Strengths:

  • Sheer size makes him an additional in-line blocker
  • Big, strong hands to make contested catches
  • Improved as a blocker
  • Wide range to make receptions

Weaknesses:

  • Below-average explosion
  • Limited production as a pass-catcher
  • Tracking the ball downfield

Combine Results:

  • 40-Yard Dash: 4.64 seconds
  • Vertical: 31 inches
  • Broad Jump: 10 feet, 2 inches
  • Shuttle Run: 4.08 seconds
  • Bench Press: 21 reps
