Another member of the New Orleans Saints’ rookie class is returning for 2021. Cornerback Keith Washington Jr. agreed to a reserve/future contract with New Orleans, per his representatives at Icon Sports Consulting, meaning he’ll be added to the 90-man offseason roster with a chance to compete in training camp. 14 players, many of them former members of the Saints practice squad, also signed reserve/future contracts earlier this week.
Initially signed as an undrafted free agent out of West Virginia, Washington impressed last summer — so much so that NewOrleans.Football’s Nick Underhill charted him with six interceptions in just three weeks of practices.
