Darnell Washington is an offensive coordinator’s dream come true

In my time as a writer at BTSC, I’ve done dozens of film rooms profiling players from every position on the field. I’ve even done one on a punter.

Few have been as fun as this one.

Studying the film of tight end Darnell Washington, whom the Steelers acquired with the 93rd pick in the draft last weekend, was like watching a youth league football game where that one exceptionally large 6th-grader stampedes through his overmatched peers. The 6’7-270 pound Washington looks so physically imposing at times, particularly with the football in his hands, that I caught myself chuckling while watching defenders attempting to tackle him.
