Falcons Host Arkansas RB Mike Washington Jr. as Packers, Bucs and Seahawks Line Up Visits

His rise into Day 2 draft range hinges on teams valuing his early-down punch over third-down limitations.

Overview

  • The Atlanta Falcons completed a top-30 meeting with Washington, with the Buccaneers, Packers and Seahawks set to host him next per NFL reporter Jordan Schultz.
  • He ran a 4.33-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine at 6-foot-1 and 223 pounds, with a 39-inch vertical that boosted his mid-round outlook.
  • In his 2025 breakout at Arkansas, he rushed for about 1,070 yards at 6.4 yards per carry with eight touchdowns and added 28 catches for 226 yards.
  • Scouting reports label him a power-speed ball-carrier who needs work in pass protection and saw limited use as a receiver.
  • Team context helps explain the interest, with Green Bay sorting out depth behind Josh Jacobs, Atlanta seeking a long-term backup to Bijan Robinson, and Seattle replacing Kenneth Walker III as Zach Charbonnet rehabs an ACL.
