Darnell Washington Earns Elite PFF Grade, Named Best Steeler In Preseason Opener

The Pittsburgh Steelers may have lost their first preseason game of the year, but the point isn’t to win. The point is to see how players look in action. The real fun part is seeing which young players look like they’re beginning to develop, and according to Pro Football Focus, Darnell Washington seemed much improved compared to his level of play last year.

PFF recently revealed the Steelers players who received the highest grades in their system last night. Washington came in first with a grade of 91.7, followed by linebacker Jacoby Windmon with a grade of 90.
