Overlooked to Atlanta Falcons, Casey Washington Still Carries 'Chip on My Shoulder'

When Casey Washington was navigating through the recruiting circuit during his playing days in Texas at Pflugerville High School, he had little idea how to get started. Washington's father, Greg, played receiver at Kansas State from 1987-89, but the recruiting process changed considerably within the 30-year timespan. Washington showed up to the events motivated to prove himself and often left the venues feeling he'd left it all on the line, but he didn't feel validated. Dejected and disappointed, Washington went back to work.
