How Does He Fit On The Team

So far this offseason, Washington has only signed developmental prospect Sammis Reyes and cut Thaddeus Moss. The Football Team also lost Jeremy Sprinkle to free agency. While there isn’t much draft depth at the tight end position, Yeboah provides Washington a decent TE2 option to pair with Logan Thomas or primarily as his backup. As a natural pass-catcher, he can provide support for the receiving offense as his blocking continues to develop.
