Why did #OhioState DT Adolphus Washington slide to the #Bills in the third round? Find out here: http://www.walterfootball.com/ws2016awashington.php

During the first day at the Senior Bowl, no player was as impressive as Adolphus Washington. He absolutely dominated that practice and was unstoppable in the pass-rushing one-on-ones. That set the tone for a solid week of practice. Prior to the Senior Bowl and afterward, Washington seemed to get lost in the shuffle at Ohio State as other players like defensive end Joey Bosa received more attention. Still, Washington was a very good interior pass-rusher in college. He is a fast, explosive defender who can cause disruption in the backfield. In the passing-driven NFL, interior linemen who can get after the quarterback are at a premium. Thus, it was somewhat surprising that Washington slid all the way to the third round.

Why the Slide?: Adolphus Washington, DT, Ohio State

By Charlie Campbell, @draftcampbell

 

Two years ago, we started a series of articles on why certain prospects went undrafted. In that series, I reach out to sources with NFL teams to find out why their organizations passed on drafting a given player, and/or, what were the reasons for other teams to pass on that prospect. We got a lot of positive reader feedback about the series, so we decided to expand in the genre to investigate why some prospects slid in the draft. Last year, we started the Why Slide? series, and this year, it is back.

Between Shaq, Ragland, and their thoughts on Washington, the FO and coaches have to be pumped about this draft.

wow. these guys musta had a Cordy's Glenn over this draft.

I think Bills were very very pleased honestly. Things broke their way

Washington’s tie to another Bills DL

Bills third-round pick Adolphus Washington, whose major turning point in his career at Ohio State was profiled on Buffalobills.com today, also has a familiar face on Buffalo’s roster not named Cardale Jones. In fact, he’s also a defensive lineman.

 

Defensive end Jerel Worthy is the familiar face in the defensive lineman room for Washington. Worthy, who was signed to the Bills practice squad last November, was promoted to the active roster in late December and subsequently signed as a future free agent in January has an interesting tie to Washington.
