The NFL is starting to learn what Pittsburgh Steelers fans have already discovered: Darnell Washington is one of a kind. At 6'7'' and 311 pounds, the big tight end can block like an offensive tackle but also possesses soft, natural hands and the ability to run defenders over after the catch.
One NFL legend is infatuated with Washington.
Future Hall of Famer Rob Gronkowski joined Kay Adams on Up & Adams, where he explained that Washington reminds him of himself during his playing days. Gronk was asked about how someone as big as him could ever move the way he did.
