DENZEL'S SON SIGNS WITH RAMS
According to the Associated Press, Morehouse running back John David Washington has signed a free agent deal with the St. Louis Rams.
John David Washington is the son of two-time Oscar winner Denzel Washington.
Like most undrafted free agents who play positions other than quarterback or kicker, Washington's opportunity to earn an NFL paycheck will hinge upon his ability to contribute in the area of special teams. Whether he can then parlay solid special teams play into a regular gig will depend upon his ability to show something when he inevitably gets a chance to line up at running back after one of the guys in front of him gets injured.
The presence of Washington in the pool of eligible players received precious little attention prior to the draft. In fact, we were the only sports publication to even mention that the offspring of the star of Remember the Titans was hoping not to be forgotten on draft day.
Although Washington didn't expect to be included among the 255 players who were drafted, he's now got his foot in the door.
