Derrick Washington

Washington had an underachieving 2009 season after putting up 1,036 yards and 17 rushing touchdowns in 2008. His yardage dipped to 865, and he only found the end-zone 10 times in 2009. Heading into his senior season we can expect Washington’s numbers to be closer to his 2008 stats. The shifty running back averaged 5.9 yards per carry in 2008, but he saw that number drop to 4.6 in 2009. In 2010, expect his average to jump to over 5.0 YPC and his touchdown numbers to be well over 10. Washington isn’t used much in the passing game, as he averaged two receptions per game last season, so expect his damage to be done on the ground.
