Is Darnell Washington becoming the Steelers’ top tight end?
For the second game in a row, third-year TE Darnell Washington outsnapped every other tight end on the Steelers’ roster. This time, he also made a minor splash by becoming more involved in the passing game, having a career day. But does that indicate he is becoming the team’s top tight end, or is this an ebb and flow situation?
In the past two games alone, Darnell Washington has logged nearly 100 snaps, and he has seen more targets, too. After catching all three in Week 4 for 20 yards, he caught three of five yesterday for 62 yards.
