Oakland Raiders

[edit]

Washington was drafted in the first round by the Oakland Raiders with the 23rd overall pick in the 2005 NFL draft after his draft stock rose after recording a time of 4.29 sec in the 40-yard dash at the 2005 NFL Combine.[3][4]

During his rookie year he played all 16 games with 11 starts and recorded 40 tackles. In his second season with the Raiders, Washington started in all 14 games he played in and had 43 tackles and four interceptions. During his third season with the Raiders in 2007 he played in 15 games with three starts, recording 40 tackles, and one interception. After the season, the Raiders started shopping him around after acquiring DeAngelo Hall. It was later revealed that Washington himself also requested to be traded, stating, "I would have traded myself."[5]

Baltimore Ravens

[edit]

On April 26, 2008, Washington was traded to the Baltimore Ravens for a fourth round pick during the 2008 NFL draft.[6] Washington, who was able to wear #27 (his jersey number during his time with the Raiders), decided to wear #31. During college, Washington wore #3. In his first preseason appearance with the team he recorded two interceptions. Samari Rolle did not play.

On October 26, in a game against his former team (the Raiders), Washington recorded a tackle on TE Zach Miller after a catch.
