RB DeAndre Washington

Washington is another young dual-threat player who would be a great backup running back for the Jets. Washington only tallied 679 yards on 144 touches but spread it pretty evenly between rushes and receptions. He caught 36 passes for 292 yards in 2019, including 10 for first downs, rushed 108 times – 23 for first downs – for 387 yards and three touchdowns.

His role would ideally be as a situational pass-catcher for the Jets. Washington averaged 8.1 yards per reception this past season, which ranked 12th among running backs and ahead of players like Bell, Ezekiel Elliott and Nick Chubb. He’d be a dart throw for sure but a pretty low-risk one at only 27 years old.
