Film Room: Darnell Washington Is A Certified Bully As A Blocker

The Pittsburgh Steelers walked away from the 2023 NFL Draft with an impressive haul, landing value at nearly every selection. Possibly the “biggest” value selection Pittsburgh made over the weekend was none other than Georgia TE Darnell Washington. For many draft analysts, including NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah, the third-round selection of Washington, at #93 overall, was widely viewed as Pittsburgh’s best pick during draft weekend with the Steelers nabbing a player many expected to be a top-50 lock prior to getting a medical flag at the Combine due to knee swelling. Washington is healthy heading into rookie OTAs, and gives Pittsburgh a unicorn-type of player at the position.
