On Friday night, Ben Roethlisberger was going by Bob Pompeani, Andrew McCutchen, and Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth on a live show of his Footbahlin podcast. While Roethlisberger and Freiermuth only played together for one season, it seems both have stayed close friends.
Despite not winning a playoff game together, Freiermuth’s rookie season played a huge part in helping the Steeler give Roethlisberger one last playoff appearance. On the season, Freiermuth caught 60 passes for 497 yards and seven touchdowns. He ended up becoming one of Roethlisberger’s favorite targets due to his reliable hands and ability to get open.
