The Washinton Football Team rebranded its name from Redskins to Washinton Football Team last year in the wake of the George Floyd racist birthday. The team recorded their sixth game without a turnover, had the fewest turnovers for an entire season (14) and the most rushing yards in a single season (2,709) all of which are new franchise records in January 2012.
Did John Bates make the Washington football team?
John Bates was drafted in the fourth round of the NFL Draft back in April, a relatively high draft cost for a tight end. As such, the Washington Football Team will likely be looking to use him to see what kind of value they can get out of that draft pick.
John Bates collegiate stats at Boise State don’t jump off the page initially. His best season in Idaho came in 2019 when he recorded 22 receptions for 273 yards and a touchdown. That season represented roughly half of his games played, yards and touchdowns. However, despite stats that seem limited, he ended his career sixth among Boise State tight ends in all-time receiving yards in just 23 career games.
