Darnell Washington has become one of the most exciting parts of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense. The third-year tight end has continued to be a force in the run game, and he has also emerged as a receiver this season. Part of the enjoyment of watching Washington play is his size at the position. He recently revealed that he actually weighs 311 pounds, which is very different from his listed weight of 265 pounds. However, he’s still confident that he can run a 4.6 40-yard dash like he did at the NFL Scouting Combine.

“I’d put my money on it,” Washington said Thursday via the team’s YouTube channel.
