Darnell Washington Was ‘Irritated’ Falling In Draft, Knows Name Of Every TE Taken Ahead Of Him

Darnell Washington enters the NFL with a chip on his shoulder. A 6’7-sized one. Viewed as a potential first round pick throughout the pre-draft process, he suffered a huge draft weekend fall until the Pittsburgh Steelers stopped his slide at #93 late in the third round. While Washington is happy to be a Steeler and be in the NFL, he admitted he was bothered by having to wait so long to hear his name called. He joined Bryant McFadden and Patrick Peterson on the All Things Covered podcast Thursday morning to discuss his draft experience.
