If Arthur Smith’s Pittsburgh Steelers were going to have success running the ball, he needed more than just the offensive line to play its part. Everyone would have to get involved, including the tight ends. For Smith, there’s no one better than Darnell Washington at moving his man from Point A to Point B.
Speaking with reporters Thursday, Smith paid Washington a high compliment for his run-game contributions.
“One of the guys that I don’t think [you appreciate], unless you’re really sick in the head and love o-line tight end play in the core, is watching Darnell Washington week in and week out,” he said via a team-provided transcript.
