Guice auditioned for NFL scouts at the HUB Football Camp on Monday, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.
ANALYSIS
Guice, who had his suspension stemming from domestic violence charges lifted last October, currently remains a free agent. The 2018 second-round pick was limited to just five appearances due to knee injuries prior to his suspension, but Guice now is working to reignite his NFL career. Guice is immediately eligible to sign a contract, if he can find a team interested in giving him an opportunity.

2018
It was nearly another lost season for Guice last year. After appearing to win the starting job in preseason, he injured his right knee Week 1 and eventually underwent surgery on a torn meniscus. Even after returning in Week 11, he lasted only four games before suffering yet another knee injury, his third in two NFL seasons. The latest issue didn't require surgery, but it's still a disconcerting trend for the 2018 second-round pick. When healthy, Guice flashed the power and speed that made him such a prized commodity coming out of LSU, and his average of 4.6 yards after contact was outstanding, albeit over a tiny sample. Washington released the running back in August after Guice was charged in an alleged domestic violence incident.
Washington grabbed Guice in the second round of the 2018 draft with every intention of making him the team's feature back, but a preseason ACL tear ended those plans quickly. He showed an enviable blend of power, speed and elusiveness with the ball in his hands at LSU, and if he returns 100 percent healthy he's likely to be featured heavily in the offense. Guice is returning to a roster that looks different than the one he was poised to join last year, though. Alex Smith's career-threatening leg injury leaves a QB competition between Case Keenum, Colt McCoy and 2019 first-round pick Dwayne Haskins, none of whom offers Smith's mobility, and a lack of reliable targets on the outside could push coach Jay Gruden to emphasize a traditional ground game even more. Guice also has his own competition in the form of Adrian Peterson, who signed a two-year deal after posting the seventh 1,000-yard season of his illustrious career as Guice's replacement last year. Furthermore, Chris Thompson is still around to handle passing-down action. If Washington goes full youth movement, Haskins and Guice should win their respective job battles and become the faces of the franchise, but a three-headed RB committee that flattens the production of everyone involved also remains a distinct possibility.
Nagging injuries at LSU combined with character concerns likely led to Guice's fall to the bottom of the second round in the 2018 draft. But Washington was all too happy to scoop him up with the 59th overall pick, and he entered training camp as the favorite to serve as the team's lead runner. Guice has the speed, vision, balance and power to be a nightmare for defenders, and he was extremely difficult to take down in college once he broke through to the second level and had some space to operate. Even in close quarters he's no easy target, as he rarely allows defenders to square him up until he's ready to lower his shoulder and pound out extra yardage, something he seems to delight in doing. Unfortunately, Guice will need to wait until 2019 to strut his stuff in the NFL, as he had the misfortune of suffering a torn ACL during the first week of the preseason. Rob Kelley and Samaje Perine are left to compete for carries, with Chris Thompson handling passing downs.
