Fabian Washington is the man


As Fabian Washington walked around the Raven's facilities, he "had a smile on his face." Who could blame him given the tremendous extravagance that the facility offers.

Washington isn't the only person in Baltimore that should be smiling though. Every Raven's fan should be grinning ear to ear with the arrival of Washington. He cost a mere 125th draft pick, and the payoff should be much better. Washington brings with him much needed depth at the cornerback position.

In his three season in the NFL, Washington has racked up 123 total tackles and 5 interceptions. More importantly he brings youth and experience. Washington is only 24 years old, yet has played in or started 45 NFL games. He can learn the finer points of the position (that he doesn't already know) from Chris McAllister and Samari Rolle. He will be an integral part of the defense immediately and hopefully for a long time to come.
