Steelers Select Darnell Washington At No. 93
12 months agoThe Pittsburgh Steelers picked Georgia tight end Darnell Washington (knee) with the 93rd overall pick in the NFL draft. Washington fell down teams' draft boards due to a knee issue. Pittsburgh gives young quarterback Kenny Pickett another big red-zone threat alongside tight end Pat Freiermuth. Washington notably brought in 28 catches for 454 yards and two touchdowns most recently in 2022. At 6-foot-7 and 264 pounds, he possesses the frame to make contested catches look somewhat routine. The 21-year-old also sports the strength to break free from tackles and the speed to leave defenders in the dust. Sharing snaps with another young tight end in the Pittsburgh offense, Washington might have a difficult time seeing much fantasy value in his rookie year.
