Marvin Washington

Marvin Washington was a two-sport athlete while attending the University of Idaho prior to being drafted by the Jets. He was selected as the pick 151 in the 1989 NFL Draft, on his way to an eight-year tenure with New York.[sc name=”The NFL Battle Zone” ]

While with the Jets, Washington was able to compile 37 sacks and 358 tackles. His best years coming in 1992 and 1993, where he created havoc in the backfield contributing to three forced fumbles.

Washington played one year with the San Francisco 49ers before being signed by the defending world champion Denver Broncos to add depth to their Defensive Line core in 1998. That same Broncos team that would beat the New York Jets in the AFC championship game and later go onto to claim their second of a back to back Super Bowls.

Marvin Washington was a solid dexpensive end for the New York Jets. Not great, not flashy, but he stayed healthy and was very productive.
