Malachi Corley is very reminiscent of Parker Washington to us. It is worth noting we liked Washington more than his draft slot, and view both him and Corley as a slot receiver with some flexibility to play a lot of different alignments (including out of the backfield). Corley is a better route runner than Washington, but both can start as valuable backups while they develop and contribute on special teams.
