NFL Draft Profile: TCU's Darryl Washington Linebacker

Article_medium

 

 

Name: Darryl Washington

Hometown: Irving, TX

Height: 6'2"

Weight: 226lbs.

Position: Linebacker

Strengths: Still has room to grow since he did not get significant time until his Senior year when he become a starter.  Very athletic and is good enough to keep in the game on rushing and passing situations, which makes him more valuable then a situational player.  Stock rose after a stellar practice week at the Senior Bowl.

Weaknesses: His size is more of a safety then a linebacker and will be playing the outside linebacker position.  That will prevent him from being an early second round pick. He only had one  year as a full time player at TCU where he started two games in 2008 before becoming a full time starter in 2009.

NFL Draft Talk: Became a starter last year and helped TCU repeat as the top-ranked defense and led the team with 109 tackles. Doesn't seem instinctive but manages to get in on his share of plays with sheer aggression and sideline-to-sideline speed. If his production catches up to his potential, he can be special. - Frank Cooney, USA TODAY/NFL Draft Scout

Projected Round Drafted: Mid second to early third round.

Nice prospect.

His build might be a perfect fit in a Cover-2 defense. The cover-2 values LBs who are fast and undersized that can swarm to the ball carrier. You can see in his pic that he can probably add some muscle to his frame with no problem.

Urlacher was considered a LB/S hybrid when he was drafted because of similar attributes and his experience playing the Lobo back position at UNM.
