"He was an All-American as a senior at Georgia Tech and won the Brian Piccolo Award, given annually to the ACC player who displayed the most courage.

"But he's not just a great story. Rutledge can flat-out play.

Washington enters the offseason with $74.55 million in salary-cap space but must prioritize building through the draft to replace aging or departing players. The interior offensive line faces an unheralded problem with Chris Paul headed for free agency, creating a Day-2 draft need. Georgia Tech interior lineman Keylan Rutledge offers extensive experience after over 2,800 collegiate snaps, starting two years with the Yellow Jackets and beginning at Middle Tennessee.
