When Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin appeared on Thursday’s episode of The Rich Eisen Show, he dished on multiple members of the 2023 draft, including third-round tight end Darnell Washington.
“Washington is really talented,” Tomlin said. “He’s got an awesome story. I love his appetite for the position, the blocking component of the position. He’s a throwback if you will. He’s a guy that really has really good knowledge itself and he embraces his skill set. He’s excited about the blocking component of the game.”
Tomlin noted that when he was watching offensive tackle Broderick Jones, Washington’s fellow rookie out of the University of Georgia, he couldn’t help but see Washington.
