The Steelers' Darnell Washington is a force to be reckoned with, and his teammate, JJ Galbreath, is here to shed some light on his current weight and future goals. Washington, who has often been coy about his true weight, recently revealed he weighed 311 pounds, a significant jump from his listed 264 pounds before the NFL Draft. Now, Galbreath offers an update, stating Washington weighed 320 pounds during spring practices, a slight increase from his heaviest weight of 311 pounds. This puts him on a path to potentially become the largest tight end in football, a role he's already starting to fill with his impressive stature and skills. Galbreath, who joined the Steelers as an undrafted free agent, shared a photo of the two of them standing together, with Washington towering over him. This isn't the first time Washington's size has been a topic of conversation; Travis Kelce and George Kittle, two household names at the position, have marveled at his unique size and highlight plays. Washington's appearance on Cam Heyward's podcast further hinted at stricter weigh-in policies and fines for not adhering to them, indicating a focus on weight management. As Washington aims to drop weight to around 300 pounds for training camp and the season, he'll remain a formidable blocker and a bigger threat as a receiver. His new contract extension of four years, $42 million, solidifies his importance to the team. Meanwhile, Galbreath is also on a journey, having gained 10 pounds to 245 pounds, an increase from last season. His goal is to improve his blocking with his larger build, an area he struggled with previously. Washington's stature makes him a football unicorn, and despite his plans to drop weight, he'll remain a significant presence on the field. The Steelers' strict weigh-in policies and Washington's commitment to his weight management suggest a team focused on performance and excellence. As the season unfolds, the football world will be watching Washington's progress, eager to see how he adapts to his new goals and continues to dominate the field.
