Summary

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers drafted tight end Darnell Washington in the third round as a potential steal for his position. But when talking to Washington, he isn't satisfied with his skillset from his days at Georgia and knows he has a long road ahead of improvements to make to be ready. But with his raw skills and Pat Freiermuth's refined abilities as a route runner, could the tight end position be the key to unlocking the Steelers' offensive potential? For Kenny Pickett and the offense, that might be the case. An offense that might have its best days running the ball will need play actions passes to open up the run game, and Pat Freiermuth, Darnell Washington and Zach Gentry could be the key to that opportunity.

1:31.5	We thought that the Steelers might have to spend one of their two second round draft picks on him.
