The Washington Commanders are showing interest in former Virginia Tech star running back Bhayshul Tuten for the 2025 NFL draft. Tuten, known for his speed and ability to read leverage well, has caught the attention of Washington's scouting team. The Commanders have engaged in a Zoom meeting and a private workout with Tuten, who impressed with his vision, patience, and big-play potential.
Washington is in search of a running back in a loaded draft class, with Tuten standing out as a prospect with exciting attributes despite concerns about fumbling. At 5-foot-9 and 206 pounds, Tuten's skill set includes exceptional speed, averaging 4.32 seconds in the 40-yard dash, and versatility on the field. With experienced running backs Brian Robinson Jr. and Austin Ekeler on the roster, the Commanders could develop Tuten gradually to maximize his potential impact in their offensive schemes.
