Antonio Gandy-Golden

A 2020 fourth-round pick, Gandy-Golden is a 6-foot-4, 223-pound wideout who might've been a Day 2 pick if he'd run a better 40 time (4.6) coming out of Liberty. He barely played as a rookie, in part due to hamstring injuries, and Washington then released him at the end of the 2021 preseason.

Gandy-Golden fits a familiar profile for a mid-round wideout prospect, combining first-rate size (6-4, 223) with major question marks regarding both speed (4.6 40) and agility (7.33-second 3-cone drill). He's coming off back-to-back 1,000-yard, 10-touchdown seasons in college, but the dominant numbers mostly came against the soft competition of a Liberty University schedule. Selected 142nd overall, Gandy-Golden didn't exactly land in the most promising NFL offense, but Washington does provide a nice opportunity to earn playing time early on. The rookie could pose a threat to Kelvin Harmon, a 2019 sixth-round pick who has similar strengths (size, strength, college production) and weaknesses (speed, agility). Harmon started the final eight games of last season, and while he never saw more than six targets in a game, he did finish the year with a 68.2 percent catch rate and 8.3 yards per target. Of course, the winner of the competition between Gandy-Golden and Harmon isn't likely to approach Terry McLaurin in target volume.
