Dwayne Washington was a running back drafted in the 7th round of the 2016 NFL Draft out of the University of Washington. He was drafted by the Detroit Lions, but he ended up only playing the 2016-17 season on the team.
In 2018, Washington was waived by the Lions. The next day, the New Orleans Saints made their move and signed him to their practice squad. Not even a month later, Washington was promoted to the full-time active roster.
In the 2018 season, Washington rushed for 154 yards on 27 carries, which the majority came against Carolina in the last week of the season.
