This was prior to the supplemental darft.
A little more than a month ago, Washington chose to end his college career. Unsure he'd be academically eligible this season at Valdosta State, he submitted his name for the NFL Supplemental Draft. He hired an agent. He began working out more.

Washington, 22, has been training at his old stomping grounds. He held a tryout for NFL scouts at Fort Myers High on July 8. Bypassed for the July 13 supplemental draft, he now hopes to get a free-agent contract.
“Not getting picked left a sour taste in my mouth. But Kansas City, the New York Jets, Miami, a lot of people are interested. We've had 10, 11 teams, which have called.”

Washington was dismissed from North Carolina State in 2005 because of admitted marijuana use. After a transfer to Mississippi fell through because some credits didn't tranfer, Washington went to Valdosta State but arrived too late to play. He said he earned six credits in the fall and 18 more in the spring, but needed six more in the summer to qualify. After talking with Jets receivers coach Noel Mazzone, who coached him at N.C. State, he chose the supplemental route.

I think it is foolish say that Saban wouldn't bring in a guy just because he's not tall. He may prefer taller Db's, but I guarantee he isn't dumb enough to overlook somebody just because they aren't 6 foot.
 
No need, we already have more talented and faster guys pushing for a spot.
 
Washington

This guy is talented. He lined up at tailback, wr and after NC State had five Rb's he switched to db. He told coach Amato that he would play anywhere just to get on the field, so he did. When the marijuana question came up, he was out. The 4.6 was in the rain and he was not in full shape. He is faster than that. Will he have a chance in our camp? Probably not unless he did because he can do many things. He made mistakes, but is all purpose WR KR PR DB. WE have several of those already so it would not be an easy route.

In general, I'm looking at overall size and speed both of which are avg at best
 
He's MUCH faster than the 4.6 shows. Coming out of high school he was supposed to be the next Deion Sanders. I think it's sort of predictable that Miami would take a look at him before the S.D.
 
Guys guys guys, i know him ive seen him play. i just graduated from fort myers high school.. he played for a great coach his last year for coach sam sirianni.. The kid is really really good. He is so much faster than 4.6, has an incredible jumping vert, and has good hands. He is small for Receiver in the nfl but for DB he can be good. Or special teams. That would be great if he played for the dolphins
 
And our school runs mostly WING T formation, but he has receiving school records. We would barely throw but around him we changed our offense just to get him the ball..
 
Supplemental Draft. Miami will take a look at just about any big school WR with a rep for being super fast.
 
I remember going to a game back in 2002 in 8th grade, and him as well as tim douglas were amazing.
