Broderick Washington Jr. is a defensive tackle for the National Football League’s Baltimore Ravens. Washington weighs 290 pounds and is a 6-2 tall athlete wearing jersey number 96 for the team.
He was born in Longview, Texas, on December 7, 1996, and is now 25 years old.
Texas Tech extended an offer to Washington as a defensive lineman despite the fact that he played offensive line at Longview High School.
He played in the 2020 Senior Bowl and NFLPA Collegiate Bowl, starting three seasons, and served as team captain in his junior and senior years.
The Baltimore Ravens chose Washington in the fifth round, 170th overall, of the 2020 NFL Draft. The transaction that transferred Kaare Vedvik to the Minnesota Vikings gave the Ravens the 170th pick, which was used to choose Washington.
On May 5, 2020, Washington agreed to a four-year rookie contract with a base salary of $3,295,000 and a signing bonus of $73,412. On November 28, 2020, the team placed him on the reserve/COVID-19 list, and he was activated two days later.
Washington, who weighed 305 pounds and was listed as an edge-rusher, will be used as a 3-4 defensive end or 4-3 tackle after having played inside, head-up, and outside the tackle in college.
He has enormous point-of-attack strength that allows him to handle offensive tackles from the Big 12 while overwhelming blockers.
