TORONTO – The Toronto Argonauts Football Club announced today the team has signed American DB Keith Washington Jr.
Washington Jr., 26, played eight games for the New Orleans Breakers of the USFL in 2022, recording 18 tackles and one interception. The 6’1, 180lb DB spent 2020 and 2021 with the New Orleans Saints after being signed by the NFL team as an undrafted free agent following his collegiate days.
