Darnell Washington: ‘Player’s Coach’ Arthur Smith ‘Just One Of The Guys’ In The Locker Room

The Pittsburgh Steelers have seen the hiring of Arthur Smith as their offensive coordinator pay off in a big way, especially in the last two weeks, with back-to-back 30-plus point games and the run game taking off. Behind the scenes, Smith is making life easier on his players by being “one of the guys” in Pittsburgh’s locker room, Darnell Washington said.

“Art Smith, he for sure one of the guys in the locker room. He’s a coach, but not only that, he’s a player’s coach. He joke around with us, have fun with us, like he understand, in our position, so he kind of just takes the ease off of just work.
