Darnell Washington has all the size and length in the world you can ask for out of a tight end. 6’7, 260 pounds and an arm length that rivals first round pick offensive tackle Broderick Jones. Size alone can get you by in college. At the NFL? It’s not going to be enough.
Washington understands that reality and knows he has to work on his technique to complement his rare frame.
“Even though if you dominate a guy or you can get a pancake, you may not have the best footwork,” he told reporters in audio provided by the team.
