# Malik Washington

NFL player. Position: **WR**. Team: **MIA**.

## Quick Facts

- **Position:** WR
- **Team:** MIA (Miami Dolphins)
- **Draft:** 2024, Round 6, Pick 184
- **Age:** 25 years old

## 2026 Outlook

Third-year receiver off to a fast start learning new offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik's system. In 2025, Washington recorded 46 receptions, 317 yards, and 3 TDs in 14 games, playing primarily in the slot behind stars Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill. With Waddle and Hill departing, Washington has immediate opportunity to expand his role. He's been praised for his ability to learn and execute—Miami Herald reporter Omar Kelly noted he's grasping the playbook faster than fellow receivers. However, to maximize opportunity, Washington must transition from slot-only role to split end/flanker positions to stay on field consistently (per Young Miami Dolphins Receiver Off to Fast Start Learning New Offense).

## Role / Depth Chart

Currently slot specialist but working to expand to outside receiver roles. In position to see significantly increased snaps with Waddle and Hill departures.
