DeAndre Washington wanted to send a message.
In Thursday’s game against Kansas City, he took a handoff at the 9-yard line, bounced off a defender near the 2, absorbed another hit at the goal line and lunged into the end zone. On Tuesday, the running back nodded while recalling his physical touchdown run in the Raiders’ 31-30 win.
“I think that was a good opportunity to show some people that you’re gonna have to wrap up,” Washington said.
The Raiders list Washington at 5-foot-8 and 204 pounds. Fellow running back Jalen Richard is listed at 5-8 and 207 pounds.
