Strengths

  • Perfect athletic build to play offensive tackle at the next level - built like a tank
  • Uses long arms and quick feet to dominate speed rushers at the Division II level
  • Dominant run blocker. Finishes blocks and seals the edge on off tackle plays
  • Good decision making. Handles blitz pickups well for a non-Division I football player
  • Good footwork and balance
  • Above average speed and agility
     

Weaknesses

  • Did not start playing football until senior year in high school
  • Played at Trinity Junior College before transfering to Abilene Christian. Unusual for a player with this kind of size and talent to have not spent some time at a Division 1 school
  • Getting used to speed of the NFL game will be Tony Washington's biggest adjustment
  • Has character concerns which will determine whether he is not getting day two buzz.  This is also likely why he was not a D-I player
