On his blog, ESPN Staff Writer Jeremy Fowler penned a brief profile of Steelers’ rookie wide receiver James Washington which offers a glimpse of what fans can expect from the Oklahoma State University (OSU) product in 2018 and beyond. In particular, Washington’s upbringing speaks of a rock-solid work ethic, honed during countless hours spent helping his father on the family farm in Lexington, TX.
Describing himself as the “workhorse” of this father/son tandem, Washington was tasked with many of the heavier tasks associated with operating the farm. This included jobs such as changing bulky tractor tires and making mechanical repairs to farm equipment.
