PITTSBURGH -- James Washington seems to be a contradiction.
He stands 5 feet 11, framed more like Rashard Mendenhall than any wide receiver at any level, but he's stamped as being a high-point target in the NFL. He's never been a burner, but he's expected to splash his way to big plays. And maybe most mystifying, at least this summer, his pedigree at Oklahoma State was built on being stocky, sturdy ... so he went and lost 15 pounds.
Seriously, can anyone grasp what the Steelers might -- or might not -- have here?
