Todd Monken Admits He ‘Probably’ Should Have Used Darnell Washington More As Georgia OC

Cleveland Browns head coach Todd Monken admitted ahead of facing the Pittsburgh Steelers that he probably should have involved tight end Darnell Washington more in the passing game while serving as Georgia's offensive coordinator. Monken praised Washington's athleticism, toughness, and physical running style, noting how difficult the 6-foot-7 tight end is to bring down once the ball is in his hands.

Washington shared the tight end room in college with Brock Bowers, which limited his receiving opportunities despite back-to-back national championships. Monken highlighted Washington's elite blocking ability on the edge while noting his development as an offensive threat, coming off a game where Washington recorded 67 receiving yards on three catches.
