In 2020, the leading rusher on the Washington Football Team was a converted college wide receiver.

The Washington Football Team’s second leading rusher was another converted college wide receiver. The second leading receiver – based on yardage – was a converted college quarterback.

With the addition of free agent wide receiver Curtis Samuel, Washington continues its move toward offensive flexibility, investing in players with multiple skill sets. In college, Samuel was a running back who could catch. He finished his career at Ohio State with more than 1,000 yards both rushing and receiving.
