He was used enough as a receiver.
28 rec for 454 yards at 16.2 YPC is pretty good.
He would have been used more as a receiver if not for Brock Bowers, who is very likely going to be TE1 (and possibly Top 10 pick) in next year's draft.
And his limited (but good) receiving production mixed with his huge size and blocking ability might make some teams think he has a higher ceiling than Mayer.

For a team that likes blockers at TE who can also be solid receiving threats in shorter routes and in the red zone (like CIN), Washington is a great fit.
But he won't be a fit for every team.
