Steelers TE Darnell Washington reveals most 'underrated' attribute

It is still a shock that TE Darnell Washington fell to the Steelers at pick No. 93 in the 2023 NFL Draft. Washington has a ton of upside, but he revealed the most "underrated" part of his game: his receiving chops.

"I feel like I have a full route tree. At Georgia, I ran a lot of different routes in practice. If I had made a practice highlight tape, it would look like I had 2,000 yards," Washington said. "I could have taken the easy way out to get more production, but I wanted to be around the best."

Deciding to stay at Georgia instead of transferring says a lot about Washington and just further proves Pittsburgh got a steal.

One scout even told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler that Washington's fall was "laughable" and that "he will play a long time."

He has already been "turning heads" at practice and QB Kenny Pickett said in a recent interview that Washington has been playing "really" well.
