Washington was selected in the fifth round (170th overall) of the 2020 NFL draft by the Baltimore Ravens.[3] The Ravens received the 170th pick used to select Washington as a result from a trade that sent Kaare Vedvik to the Minnesota Vikings. Washington signed his rookie contract on May 5, 2020.[4] He was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list by the team on November 28, 2020,[5] and activated two days later.[6]

On August 9, 2023, Washington signed a three-year, $17.5 million contract extension with the Ravens.[7]

Washington was arrested and charged with six counts of destruction of property on March 14, 2021, after police said he broke into five cars and damaged an apartment building in Arlington, Texas.[8]
