Player: TE Darnell Washington
Stock Value: Up
Reasoning: A year and a half into his career, Darnell Washington is starting to fulfill the vision many Steelers fans had for him. While he is not making huge contributions to the passing game, he now has opportunities to make plays. And he continues to develop as a blocker, having arguably the best game of his career.
It would be nice if there are simpler means by which one could quantify blocking statistically. You might see a “pancake” stat some random person or outlet keeps, but applying that consistently across the NFL is not currently available.
