"I'm not sure any other prospect improved his stock in Indy as much as Washington. We know Jeremiyah Love will be the first running back off the board, and Notre Dame teammate Jadarian Price seems to have a good grip on RB2. But the No. 3 running back spot is a wide-open race, and Washington might have done enough at the combine to jump the line and make his case to go in Round 3."
Over 300 prospects from the 2026 NFL draft class participated in combine activities including on-field drills, 40-yard dashes, medical testing, and team interviews in Indianapolis. While not all prospects participated in every event, several standout performances emerged that enhanced draft positioning. Some players solidified their existing status by confirming expectations through tape-matching performances, while others exceeded projections. Notable performers included Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles and Arkansas quarterback Taylen Green, who set QB-specific records. The evaluation process extends beyond on-field metrics, with league sources providing additional insights on red flags and interview performance in coming weeks. Running back Washington demonstrated particular stock improvement with elite combine metrics.
