USC Star Wide Receiver Partners with Global Meal-Kit Brand
Tahj Washington might be the most underrated and equally underappreciated player in a receiver room full of top-end talent.
The speedster out of Texas is precise with his route running -- not to mention lethally athletic in open space.
While he may have a future in the NFL, there's one thing many might not know about him. Washington is a fantastic chef, as evidenced by the sponsorship he just entered into:
Washington took to social media to announce that the famed meal-kit brand Hello Fresh would be sponsoring his cooking show, No Huddle Kitchen, for season 2 of its existence.
According to USC's dynamic receiver, the show will focus on quick and nutritious meals with his own twist.
Dating back to last year, Washington had been uploading videos onto his own YouTube channel. It was here where he came up with the idea of No Huddle Kitchen -- his very own cooking show, which often involved teammates.
The dishes Washington made included chicken and shrimp alfredo, a recreation of a Whataburger patty melt, smothered pork chops, and ramen with a twist.
While Washington is still building his subscriber totals, we are pretty impressed with the quality of production and the knowledge Washington bestows to viewers.
It's even more gratifying to see a young athlete with an interest outside of the football field getting a chance to partner with a brand as massive as Hello Fresh. This is just another example of the ever-changing world of college sports. A presumed NIL deal like this one wouldn't have been in the cards years ago. Now, it's giving a young man like Washington a platform to build his own brand.
Who knows...maybe one day we'll see Washington with his very own television show on The Food Network.
