Ex-Canada Star Gives 49ers Boost
Vic Washington, a 5-11, 190-pound back from Plainfield New Jersey, who played in the Canadian Football League after Wyoming, scored twice as the San Francisco 49ers beat the San Diego Chargers 28-17 in an exhibition. Washington, versatile as receiver and returner, relished the chance to prove he can be an NFL running back despite critics. He previously led Wyoming in punt returns and held track records, returning to the U.S. after Canadian stints with Ottawa and Vancouver. The weekend NFL exhibition slate featured multiple games across cities, with Washington’s performance highlighted.
