02Scheme fit
Ideal system

Pittsburgh's vertical passing game with play-action concepts can effectively deploy James Washington's skill set.

X-receiverSplit endFlanker WR
Best role

As a rookie, he projects into a rotational deep threat role, but has the potential to develop into a secondary outside receiver.

Wrong fit

A quick-rhythm, short passing game that doesn't utilize vertical routes would severely limit his contributions.

Washington's college production and athletic profile suggest he can be an immediate downfield playmaker in a vertical offense.

04The evaluation

Selected #60 overall in Round 2 of the 2018 NFL Draft by Pittsburgh Steelers out of Oklahoma State.
