Washington was a third-round selection in the 2023 NFL Draft due primarily to his blocking ability, but the Steelers were expecting more from the tight end out of Georgia as a pass catcher, especially since Washington had an opportunity to step up while starting TE Pat Freiermuth missed five games due to a hamstring injury. Washington played almost half of Pittsburgh’s offensive snaps as a rookie and didn’t miss a game, but he also finished with just seven catches for 61 yards on 10 targets. Even with some improvement likely to come as the 6-foot-7 Washington acclimates to the NFL in his second season, it’s hard to find much upside here considering it took him a season to reach a level of production many tight ends can deliver in a single game.
Washington had a somewhat underwhelming collegiate stat line over three seasons at Georgia, totaling 45 receptions for 774 yards and three touchdowns. However, he impressed at the combine through his speed and agility and was selected by Pittsburgh in the third round of this year’s draft. Washington reportedly slid to the third round due to concerns over medicals, and it’s unclear how that will impact his rookie season. Pat Freiermuth is the team’s clear top tight end, but once Washington is healthy, he could challenge Zach Gentry as the primary backup.
