Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Darnell Washington has become a key factor for the team this season, according to ESPN, with his impact extending well beyond the viral highlight plays that have drawn attention to him.

Washington, listed at 6-foot-7 and nearly 300 pounds, has drawn notice in part for hurdling defenders during games, moments that have circulated widely on social media. ESPN's report argues his contribution to the Steelers goes beyond those highlight-reel plays.

The outlet frames Washington as an important piece of Pittsburgh's offense this season, though specific statistics on his receiving or blocking production were not detailed in the material reviewed.

Tight ends of Washington's size are often valued for their ability to contribute as both blockers and receiving threats, a dual role that can make them difficult for defenses to game-plan against.
