Steelers’ Darnell Washington ‘Ready’ For Growing Role, Pat Freiermuth Says

Pittsburgh Steelers TE Darnell Washington has all of four targets this season, but he has made them count. That is the best way to ensure that you get more, which Pat Freiermuth sees in his future. What he didn’t see, however, was his fellow tight end showing the ability to leap over another man.

During the Steelers’ loss to the Colts on Sunday, Darnell Washington caught a pass in the right flat and rumbled ahead for 20 yards. Along the way, he stiff-armed one defender and hurdled over another. For a 6’7, 264-pound human being, that’s an impressive showing.
