As the Steelers continue through the offseason, building 2022 roster, it is a good time to take a look back at 2021 again and rank the top ten Steelers players of the season. There are a good number of players who played well, and a lot who didn’t.
Pat Freiermuth is probably the most controversial selection on this list so far. But that’s the most controversy we’ve seen from the Steelers 2021 second round pick. Freiermuth was supposed to be eased into the tight end job, but after a standout training camp Freiermuth ended up leading the position in snaps in Week 1 of the 2021 season and in fourteen of the Steelers 17 games.
