Washington

After spending the last two seasons as the Canes’ starting left tackle, Washington decided to forgo his senior season and enter the draft. Standing at 6'3/320, the 2011 first-team All-ACC pick will compete for a No. 2 job behind Evan Mathis and Danny Watkins.

Washington was Miami’s left tackle as a junior in 2011, but will play guard with Philadelphia. A 27-game starter in college, Washington goes 6-foot-3, 320 and is athletic. He could develop into a starter in a few years.

Washington is considered the better pro prospect of the two. A 2011 first-team All-ACC pick, Washington was the Canes’ starting left tackle the past two seasons. At 6'4/320, he is considered a potential impact guard at the next level. Vernon flashed big-time pass-rush ability as a sophomore before sitting out much of his junior year due to an agent-related suspension. The Hurricanes listed Vernon at 6'4/265. He’s considered a late-round prospect.

A sixth-round pick, Washington was considered a project coming out of Miami. An athletic 6-foot-3, 320 pounds, he’s a strong candidate for the practice squad.

Washington was the Eagles’ sixth-round pick in 2012. He was part of final cuts that year and has been with the Rams ever since. Viewed as a project with upside coming out of Miami, the time is now or never for Washington. He has a great opportunity ahead of him with the offensive line-starved Rams.

A 2012 sixth-rounder, Washington had yet to appear in a game. He’ll be a candidate for the practice squad.
