Report: Chiefs to sign former Texas Tech RB DeAndre Washington

Former Texas Tech RB DeAndre Washington is signing a one-year deal with the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Kansas City Chiefs continue to add competition for their running back room.

According to a report from Yahoo Sports’ Terez Paylor, the Chiefs have agreed to terms on a one-year deal with RB DeAndre Washington.

Washington is a former college teammate of Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes at Texas Tech. He was drafted in the fifth round of the 2016 NFL draft by the Oakland Raiders and has appeared in 55 games for Oakland over the past four seasons.

Washington’s top season as a professional came in 2019, where he started three games for the Raiders and rushed for 387 yards and three scores on 108 attempts. The best part of his game, however, is his ability to catch the football. He added 36 receptions for 292 yards in 2019.
