‘Just A Feel Thing’: Freiermuth Explains Chemistry With Pickett On Third Downs

When former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger needed a big first down, chances are he was turning to the reliable Heath Miller.

All these years later, when rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett needs a completion to move the chains, he’s turning to his sure-handed, tough tight end in Pat Freiermuth more often than not.
