CINCINNATI - Corey Washington watched the Hall of Fame Game on Sunday night, but not to relive his own glory. He was checking out a couple of fellow Newberry College products trying to make it in the league with the Vikings, linebacker Edmond Robinson and tight end Brandon Bostick (he of the muffed onsides kick with the Packers in last season's NFC title game).
It was a year ago that Washington first emerged on the scene, catching the go-ahead touchdown in Canton that sparked his preseason dominance. It was the first of four touchdowns he would catch and allowed him to make the 53-man roster, even though he barely played in the regular season.
