The Denver Broncos selected small school wide receiver Montrell Washington in the fifth round of the 2022 NFL Draft. Initially, many were skeptical and criticized the selection. He came from a small school in Samford, draftnik’s had him ranked as an undrafted free agent, and he’s a smaller receiver who many considered ‘just a returner’.
However. after a strong training camp and preseason, Washington went from a criticized selection into a popular breakout rookie. If he continues to impress, we can thank Broncos future Hall Of Fame quarterback Russell Wilson for noticing the small school receiver.
