Washington was selected in the fifth round (170th overall) of the 2020 NFL draft by the Baltimore Ravens.[3] The Ravens received the 170th pick used to select Washington as a result from a trade that sent Kaare Vedvik to the Minnesota Vikings. Washington signed his rookie contract on May 5, 2020.[4] He was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list by the team on November 28,[5] and activated two days later.[6]
On August 9, 2023, Washington signed a three-year, $17.5 million contract extension with the Ravens.[7]
Personal life
Washington was arrested in March 2021 in Arlington, Virginia and charged with several property damage-related misdemeanors and felony destruction of property after an incident at a local apartment complex where police alleged that he damaged several vehicles and an apartment exterior. Washington, who admitted to being intoxicated at the time of the incident and did not have a previous criminal record, later pled no contest to a single charge of misdemeanor destruction of property. He received a suspended sentence and fine conditional on his completion of both community service and a restitution plan.[8]
