Pittsburgh Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth could be in for a big year in 2024. He had a down 2023 due to injury, missing five games and having a career-low 3.9 targets per game. But with new offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, Freiermuth could be in for a resurgence.
After all, he’s only a year removed from a 98-target season in 2022 where he averaged a career-high 11.6 yards per reception. And even in a down 2023, Freiermuth still averaged 9.6 yards per catch. He’s shown an ability to be an impact player in the passing game. But what makes him that kind of player?
