James Washington was drafted in the second round (60th overall) of the 2018 NFL Draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was the seventh Wide Receiver picked in that draft. His teammate from his days at the Oklahoma State University, quarterback Mason Rudolph was selected by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the third round of the same draft.
