When you think of issues on offense for the Pittsburgh Steelers, the tight end position probably doesn’t rank very high. They have Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington. Isn’t the key to unlocking the offense more about getting better quarterback and offensive line play?
Well, yes. But perhaps adding another tight end to mix could really help, too. At least, that’s what former NFL general manager (and UNC Football GM) Michael Lombardi thinks. Lombardi joined the Pat McAfee Show on Friday to talk about a host of topics, including helping build a football team. He talked about the role of the tight end and how having players with different skill sets can make an offense more versatile, as well as help each player perform to their potential.
