Steelers Now
Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Darnell Washington is listed at around 260 pounds online, but he’s actually much bigger. Washington confirmed during an appearance on the St. Brown Podcast with Amon-Ra St. Brown and Equanimeous St. Brown that he’s 311 pounds.
“I ain’t finna going cap to y’all. I ain’t weigh myself in a minute, but I know. I’mma keep it a buck, I’m 311,” Washington said.
Washington is a gigantic human being, standing at 6-foot-7, 311 pounds. He also revealed this offseason that he lost 10-15 pounds, so he was nearly 330 pounds at one point.
“Yeah, I dropped about 10 to 15 pounds,” Washington said during OTAs. “I feel a lot better. I just thought it was something I needed to see happen.”
“Mount Washington,” a fitting nickname for the big tight end out of Georgia, had a banner day in the Steelers’ 34-12 win over Cincinnati on Sunday, recording four receptions for 67 yards (16.8 average).
Kyle Brandt of NFL Network named Washington as the Week 11 Angry Runs winner for his viral play against the Bengals when he bulldozed through three defenders.
Washington was nominated three times for his 31-yard catch and run, one time for each of the Bengals defenders he demolished. It’s the first time one player swept the finalist nominations.
“Way too big of a dude to be running like that,” Brandt said. “This was the Godfather trilogy of runs, except he stuck the landing on part three.
“There are some guys in the league that had really good Angry Runs this week,” Brand said. “But there was no room at the inn.I couldn’t just put Darnell as one. This thing is going to the Steel City.
“Darnell Washington, you have made history, you have infamy and you have the Scepter. It’s going back to where it belongs. An all-time Angry Runs.”
