Sportsfanlive.com - An offensive tackle from a small Division II Christian school, Tony Washington went to Indianapolis virtually unknown. After top performances at the NFL Combine, the Abilene Christian standout has seen his draft stock climb as high as the second round. But he bears the burden of a troubled past – one that’s causing some NFL teams to think twice. Washington is a registered sex offender. In May 2003, Washington was convicted of having sex with a relative that multiple NFL and college sources say was his 15-year old biological sister. The act was consensual, according to his college coaches and two NFL scouts, who spoke to him about the incident.
One NFL scout, who asked to remain anonymous, points to the fact that the 24-year old has already been divorced, which could suggest a pattern of broken relationships. “I worry about this kid. Whether it's that again or something else, he has a history of serious problems,” he said. “What disturbs me is that I don't know if he sees anything wrong with it,” the scout added. Where he comes from, this kind of thing happens all the time. I don’t think he’s at all ready for the rejection he's about to face once people find out.”
Another NFL scout, who also asked for anonymity, worries about the reception Washington would receive in the NFL. Despite his concerns regarding the sex-offender status, the scout said that Washington's performance at the Combine was unquestionably good and gave him a "second-round" grading.
This is some pretty fucked up shit we got here. I don't get how this went down at all. I mean I get your old fashion incest cases where dad takes liberties with a youngin cause those type of fucked up perverts are all over the place. But for a 16 and 15 year old brother and sister to just look at each other one day and say what the hell, "the playstations broke and it's hot as balls outside, wanna fuck?", just completely blows my mind.
But the funniest part about this whole thing is that the NFL scout they interviewed said that he is concerned because brothers and sisters are always screwing each others brains out in Texas and Tony doesn't think it's as big of a deal as the rest of the civilized world. Big hats and incest, that's what Texas does.
What do you think? Should the Lions or anyone for that matter take a shot on this kid if he is available late in the third round?
6'7" & 295.......Gotta draft this guy, way too much upside to let a little incest incident get in the way. Regardless, this guy is due for a crack cocaine bust. Pay this man and watch him go wild spending all his cash on hennessy, bootleg dvds, menthol cigarettes, crack rocks, and popeye's chicken........
