Another example of Washington’s vision. The middle is clogged up and he notices the hole to his right, cuts over and finds the endzone.

Washington is a decisive runner, who typically just makes one cut and then gets upfield.

As a smaller back, Washington can get knocked off his feet pretty easily if he isn’t up to speed yet.

But being a small running back does have its advantages, such as squeezing through a hole that most other backs wouldn’t be able to do.

Washington uses a double jump cut on this run to gain extra yards. It looks like he is going to bounce this one outside, but then notices the defender and quickly cuts back to the middle of the field.
