Dolphins’ Malik Washington gets tattoo to commemorate 2024 NFL draft

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington is aiming to make the team’s 53-man roster, but first he’s taking in the journey that led him to the NFL.

In a feature with Inked Magazine, Washington documented a trip to get a tattoo that commemorates his time with the Virginia Cavaliers and the Dolphins’ decision to draft him.

“With the 184th pick in the 2024 NFL draft, the Miami Dolphins select…” the tattoo reads, in part.

While Washington was tremendously productive in the collegiate ranks — finishing the 2023 season with an FBS-leading 110 receptions — it may be a while before he sees reps with the Dolphins. But the rookie receiver plans on “being a sponge” in a loaded receiving corps that includes productive veterans Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, and the newly acquired Odell Beckham Jr.

Washington may eventually prove to be a draft steal for the Dolphins who should’ve been picked earlier than the sixth round. But the receiver is embracing every part of the journey, regardless.
