One player I think everyone was watching today was second year wide receiver James Washington. Not only did he have a bit of a disappointing first season, but his flashes in the second half of the season only drove the intrigue up the wall. Add that to a new, trimmer frame that added more burst and long speed to Washington’s arsenal and you have a train created.
Washington did not disappoint. And his new frame was already on display and allowed him to be much more like the deep threat he was in college. Vernon Hargreaves learnt that much very, very quickly as soon as the Steelers offense came out onto the field.
