Explosive, versatile Texas Tech RB with proven big-play production
DeAndre Washington stood out at Texas Tech as a compact, explosive back who paired efficient rushing with real receiving value, including 1,103 rushing yards on 188 carries in 2015 and 30 catches for 328 yards, showing he could stay on the field in all situations. His differentiators were burst, balance, and pass-game usefulness rather than pure size, which made him a useful fit for teams needing a versatile weapon. The main caution is that he was more of a smart, productive fit than a high-volume power runner, so his value is strongest in schemes that create space and use RBs creatively.
