Outside of Vance McDonald, second-year wide receiver James Washington is the second-highest-pedigreed player at the skill positions on the Pittsburgh Steelers’ roster, if you want to go by draft position. Washington was the 60th-overall pick in 2018, while the San Francisco 49ers drafted McDonald 55th several years earlier.
That’s largely meaningless when you consider that the Steelers’ other two top wide receivers were drafted 62nd and 66th in their respective classes, those being JuJu Smith-Schuster in 2017 and Diontae Johnson in 2019.
