Patrick Peterson: Darnell Washington Will Be ‘Red Zone Killer’

Pittsburgh Steelers TE Darnell Washington has been impressing CB Patrick Peterson so far in training camp. Peterson said on the All Things Covered podcast that he co-hosts with his cousin and former Steelers CB Bryant McFadden that Washington will be a “red zone killer.”

“The big fella is definitely starting to come into his own,” Peterson said. “He’ll pick my brain and ask me certain questions about how to handle certain things, what to expect throughout preseason, how to maintain and manage his body and time away from football. And he’s gonna be a red zone killer, in my opinion.
