Rookie Adolphus Washington Named Starter Heading Into Camp

[GreedoII]

Seems like Washington has potential but I don't like rookies starting Day 1. It's a position that requires a lot of strength and conditioning, and rookies don't have a full off-season cuz of NCAA rules and the lateness of the draft. He's likely to hit a wall in mid-Nov or so, and he's likely to struggle with more physical OL's.

he's a d-line man in a rotational system. I wouldn't worry about it at all. This D has a lot of looks so that will be just one of them.

That's fair. I actually see him as a rotational guy. You would think Bryant and a couple others will see plenty of snaps.
