Summary

Mike Washington is the same type of big, linear, powerful running back the Packers wanted with A.J. Dillon, only this time he was the speed to hit home runs. The Arkansas breakout star could appeal to Brian Gutekunst for the same reasons they loved Dillon. We break down what he is (and what he isn't), plus how he fits for the Packers in another installment of Gutey's Guys.

1:03.2	And they're not the same player at all.
1:05.1	AJ Dillon was a little bit shorter, much thicker, and not nearly as explosive.
1:16.5	But they are straight line downhill runners.
