Todd Washington joins the Jaguars as an assistant offensive line coach after spending two seasons as an offensive assistant with the New York Jets. Washington has eight years of NFL playing experience as well as eight years of NFL coaching experience. He has also spent time in three other professional leagues, including the XFL, AAF and UFL.
In 2020, Washington was part of an offensive staff that helped RB Frank Gore record his 16th consecutive season of 500-plus rushing yards, the longest streak in NFL history. In his first season with the Jets, the offense improved in several key categories, including increasing their scoring by over 10 points per game and ranking top 10 in the league in both sacks allowed (ninth) and giveaways (10th).
Prior to joining the Jets, Washington worked in both the XFL as a tight end/offensive tackle assistant for the Washington D.C. franchise prior to the league's launch in 2020. Earlier in 2019, he served as the offensive line coach for the AAF's Orlando Apollos, helping the team to a league-best 7-1 record before operations were suspended. He also worked with the Miami Dolphins (2018) and the Chicago Bears (2019) in training camp through the NFL's Bill Walsh Diversity Coaching Fellowship program.
Washington was the assistant offensive line coach in Baltimore (2011-16) and was part of the Ravens' Super Bowl XLVII-winning team that finished with the sixth-most rushing touchdowns in the league (17). Additionally, over his six seasons, three different Ravens offensive linemen were selected to the Pro Bowl, including G Marshal Yanda who was selected each year under Washington.
Washington spent one season (2010) as the offensive line coach for the Hartford Colonials of the UFL, coaching a team that finished the season ranked first in total offense and rushing offense. He began his coaching career at the University of San Diego, initially as the team's offensive line coach (2007-08) before being promoted to offensive coordinator (2009).
An eight-year NFL veteran, Washington entered the league as a fourth-round selection by Tampa Bay (1998). He appeared in 97 games as a guard/center for the Buccaneers (1998-2002) and Texans (2003-05) and was a member of Tampa Bay's Super Bowl XXXVII-winning team in his final season with the club. A four-year letterman at Virginia Tech (1994-97), he earned his degree in physical education and health.
Washington and his wife, Shannon Elizabeth Washington, have three children, Cameron, Ava and Zane.
