Receiver Washington Eager To Take Step Forward With Steelers

LATROBE, Pa. (AP) – Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver James Washington is eager to take a step forward following an uneven rookie season. Washington caught just 16 passes in 2018, numbers that paled in comparison to teammate JuJu Smith-Schuster. Washington spent a portion of the offseason working on a cotton farm in Texas with his father, spraying weeds and helping fix tractors. Washington says the work gave him a chance to relax and reset as he enters his second year in the NFL.
