The Steelers utilize a gap/duo run scheme with play action, prioritizing big-bodied blockers and versatile tight ends.
Washington can immediately contribute as a blocking-first Y-tight end, with an eventual ceiling as a dominant run-game presence and red-zone target.
His value would be considerably diminished in an Air Raid or spread RPO system that de-emphasizes tight end blocking and requires extensive route running from the position.
Washington's exceptional size and blocking prowess perfectly align with Pittsburgh's run-heavy, physical offensive identity.
