Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Darnell Washington has always been considered a bad, bad man, especially with the football in his hands.
They don’t make any tight ends like him, standing 6-foot-7, weighing what he now confirms is 311 pounds. He’s a freak athlete, one that can jump out of the gym, clocked a 4.6 40-yard dash at the Combine, and can do anything asked of the position, both as a receiver and as a blocker.
Washington had to remind the NFL just what he can do with the football in his hands.
On Sunday in Week 11 against the Cincinnati Bengals at Acrisure Stadium, Washington went viral on a 31-yard catch-and-run, leaving a path of destruction in his wake.
