During the 2023 NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers landed what was widely regarded as one of the best value picks of the draft when they selected Georgia TE Darnell Washington at pick No. 93 in the third round. One of the main reasons why the 6-7, 265-pound TE that can block and run a 4.64-second 40-yard dash slid all the way to the third round was because of some medical concerns with his knees.
Washington was as surprised as everybody else during his draft-day slide, and even more surprised to find out that it was because of concerns with his knees.
