The Arizona Rattlers recently added more firepower to their already talented wide receiver corp. Last week the Rattlers acquired wide receiver Mike Washington, giving quarterback Nick Davila a new weapon for his offense.   

Washington played for the Pittsburgh Power from 2011-2013 and the Spokane Shock from 2014-2015. While with Pittsburgh, Washington set single-season franchise records with 136 receptions for 1,595 yards and 36 touchdowns in 18 games. Washington was ranked as the 30th best player in the AFL Top 50 players of 2014. Washington joins Rod Windsor, Kerry Reed, Marquee White, and Chase Deadder on Arizona's receiver corp.

The five-time Arena Bowl champion Rattlers will open the season on Friday, April 1 against the Portland Steel on CBS Sports Network.
