Arkansas Razorback running back Mike Washington Jr. put NFL teams on notice with his performance at the combine.
Mike Washington Jr. put on a show at the NFL combine, recording the fastest 40-yard dash time of any running back with a time of 4.33 seconds, helping him significantly boost his draft stock, along with scoring a perfect 10 relative athletic score (RAS). The big-bodied burner broke out at Arkansas this season, where he rushed for over 1,000 yards and eight touchdowns.
Washington has been gaining momentum in the fantasy community after his performances at the Senior Bowl and now the combine. If the 6’1, 223lb power back gets a desirable landing spot in the NFL Draft, we will continue to see his draft stock climb. Currently on Underdog, Washington’s ADP ranges from 207 to 218.

Arkansas Razorbacks running back Mike Washington Jr. has been one of the most consistent running backs at the Senior Bowl.
Arkansas Razorbacks running back Mike Washington Jr. has been putting together a strong week that’s catching the attention of NFL evaluators. He’s shown quick decision-making in inside run periods, consistently pressing the hole with patience before exploding through creases. Washington’s lateral agility and contact balance have allowed him to generate extra yards, even when lanes close up.
What’s really helped his stock is his work in passing situations. Washington has looked natural catching the football out of the backfield and has held his own in pass-protection reps, showing awareness and toughness against blitzing linebackers. With his performance in Mobile, Washington is making a strong case as a versatile, scheme-friendly back who can contribute early in an NFL rotation.
