Montrell Washington Fantasy Stats

The New York Giants signed wide receiver Montrell Washington and cornerback Nic Jones to Reserve/Futures deals on Friday. Washington was originally a fifth-round selection (162 overall) by the Denver Broncos in 2022 out of Samford. The 25-year-old pass-catcher made his NFL debut in his rookie year with Denver and caught four of his nine targets for only two yards while carrying the ball five times for 30 yards in 15 contests (one start). He hasn't appeared in an NFL game since and spent most of last season on the Kansas City Chiefs' practice squad. Washington will now train with the Giants this offseason and attempt to make their 53-man roster as receiver depth out of training camp this summer. Jones, 23, was a seventh-rounder by the Chiefs in 2023 out of Ball State. He has four solo tackles in 10 NFL games since debuting with KC in 2023.

Denver Broncos return man Montrell Washington accounted for 32 of the team's 37 punt returns and 18 of its 24 kickoff returns as a rookie fifth-rounder in 2022. He averaged 8.47 yards per punt return, which ranked 10th in the league, but he also fumbled a combined five times and displayed questionable decision-making as a kick returner. Washington has top-flight speed and good instincts in the open field, but he'll face significant competition for the return job this summer, mainly from second-round rookie wideout Marvin Mims. Receiver Kendall Hinton also has some experience returning punts, and the Broncos are sure to look at some undrafted rookies in the role as well.
