When it comes to the most impactful position coaches on the staff for the Pittsburgh Steelers, few — if any — can touch tight ends coach Alfredo Roberts in recent seasons.
Roberts, who was hired ahead of the 2021 season to replace longtime tight ends coach James Daniel, who retired, has come in and had a hand in the development of second-year tight end Pat Freiermuth, fourth-year tight end Zach Gentry, and most recently rookie tight end Connor Heyward in his two seasons in Pittsburgh, making the tight end room one of the strengths of a roster in transition.
