Can TE Pat Freiermuth be the No. 2 target in a successful Steelers passing game?
Quite honestly, this is a subject I’ve contemplated a lot this offseason. There is a realistic possibility that the Steelers enter the 2024 season counting on TE Pat Freiermuth as one of their top two targets within the offense behind WR George Pickens. Is that a good idea? Does he have the skill set and consistency to command that kind of attention at a productive level?
During the 2022 season, Freiermuth drew 98 targets, averaging 6.125 targets per game (missing one game).
