After the devasting news of losing Ashton Dulin for the season, the Colts added 2018 2nd-round pick James Washington. 

The Pittsburgh Steelers drafted WR James Washington out of Oklahoma State with the 60th overall pick in the 2nd round of the 2018 NFL Draft. During his five seasons, he has racked up 114 receptions, 1,629 yards, and 11 touchdowns, all with the Pittsburgh Steelers (He also was on the Dallas Cowboys active roster last season). 

  • 2018: Pittsburgh Steelers
    16 receptions, 217 yards, 1 touchdown
  • 2019: Pittsburgh Steelers
    44 receptions, 735 yards, 3 touchdowns
  • 2020: Pittsburgh Steelers
    30 receptions, 392 yards, 5 touchdowns
  • 2021: Pittsburgh Steelers
    24 receptions, 285 yards, 2 touchdowns
  • 2022: Dallas Cowboys
    N/A

Due to Washington's size at 5'11, 213 lbs, he best projects as a slot WR. And will join the current roster battle for the Colts' 5th and potential 6th WR job with the likes of: 

  • Michael Strachan
  • Amari Rodgers
  • Breshad Perriman
  • Vyncint Smith
  • Juwann Winfree
  • Tyler Adams
  • Kody Case
