ATHENS — Darnell Washington needed to clear a few things up at Georgia’s Pro Day on Wednesday.

First up, he was re-measured and came in at 6-foot-7, taller than what he measured at the NFL combine. Even with the inaccurate listings, Washington put on a tour de force at the combine, running a 4.64 40-yard dash at 264 pounds. By comparison, Georgia running back Kenny McIntosh ran a 4.62.

Washington also went viral for his drill work. He moved the blocking sled with ease, something he takes pride in as he believes it separates him from other tight ends in the draft.
