Sure, he played in the pass-happy Big 12, but three 1,000-yard seasons is nothing at which to blush.
James Washington returned for his senior season and tore up the conference with a nation-leading 1,549 yards and 13 touchdowns as he caught passes from fellow prospect Mason Rudolph.
His senior season earned him first-team All-American status and the Biletnikoff Award for the nation’s best receiver.
Washington had 100-plus yards in nine out of 13 games his senior season, and in 13 of his last 19 collegiate games. As a junior he had a 296-yard performance against Pittsburgh.
At 6-feet, 205 pounds, though, Washington is supposed to be faster than his 4.54 40 time at the combine, though witnesses to his play say he still has the ability to separate.
