Washington seeks U S bid to win NFL spot
Vic Washington, a versatile back and receiver who spent three CFL seasons after starring at Wyoming, returns to the United States and tries out for the San Francisco 49ers. He scored on 13 and 10 yard runs in a 28 17 exhibition win over the Chargers as NFL teams contrast with other players who chose Canada this year. Washington hopes his heart size can trump concerns about his 190 pound frame.
