The Washington Huskies football program has a history of producing talented defensive backs.
Some names that come to mind are Desmond Trufant, Marcus Peters, Budda Baker, Kevin King, and Taylor Rapp. Marcus Peters and Budda Baker, drafted in 2015 and 2017, respectively, are the most decorated NFL defensive backs to come out of Washington.
In the next year or two, we can expect two more Washington Huskies’ names to be called in the draft: cornerbacks Trent McDuffie and Kyler Gordon.
