Let’s have a look at his work

Parker Washington’s quantity is #3

How does he match into the staff?

The Commanders have already got an electrical receiver trio heading into the 2023 season in Terry McLaurin, Jahan Dotson and Curtis Samuel. Whereas vast receiver looks as if a everlasting place, Samuel can be a free agent after this season. The depth behind the third vast receiver is questionable at finest.

Moreover, Washington may use extra sparks from the second leg at particular groups if Antonio Gibson will play a unique function on offense.

Parker Washington may not have the ability to evolve right into a characteristic wideout, however he can compete with Dyami Brown, Cam Sims, and Dax Milne for being a depth receiver as a rookie. His enjoying time depends upon exhibiting extra potential to open himself up and enhance as a run blocker. A optimistic improvement may end in Washington showing as WR3 on the depth chart.
