One of the more intriguing receiver prospects got himself a second date with the Carolina Panthers.
At his media availability from this year’s scouting combine, University of Virginia’s Malik Washington told reporters that he’s met with a handful of teams over in Indianapolis. That group includes the Panthers, who also spoke with the wideout at the Shrine Bowl last month.
Washington isn’t amongst the most physically intimidating pass catchers of the 2024 NFL draft, as he stands at 5-foot-9 and about 190 pounds. But his production certainly stacks up with the rest of the class, as he reeled in 110 receptions for 1,426 yards and 10 touchdowns en route to a first-team All-ACC nod this past season.
Currently projected as a Day 2 or Day 3 selection, Washington could bring some much needed firepower to the Carolina offense. Along with the Panthers, he’s also met with the Atlanta Falcons, Cleveland Browns, Pittsburgh Steelers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Tennessee Titans.
