Montrell Washington was drafted in the 5th round of 2022 by the Denver Broncos to fill a hole on the roster that arguably didn’t need to filled, return specialist.
While he showed in college that he had some ability as a WR to catch the ball and as a runner on jet sweeps, he was rarely used as such by the Broncos as a rookie. He had 9 offensive touches in 2022 that gained 32 yards (19 came on one play in week 2) on 78 offensive snaps. He also touched the ball 69 times as a returner, 18 on kickoffs and 51 on punts (32 returned and 19 fair catches).
