If there is one thing that is certain in the new offense of the Pittsburgh Steelers under coordinator Arthur Smith, outside of running the football at a high clip, it’s that the tight ends will be heavily involved, especially in the passing game.
Fortunately for the Steelers, their tight ends room is rather strong top to bottom. It features a good blend of players who bring a different element to the table, creating a deep, strong room for quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Justin Fields to work with.
Speaking with reporters Wednesday following the second minicamp practice, Fields — who loves to utilize the tight end in the passing game and had a strong rapport with Cole Kmet in Chicago — praised the Steelers’ tight end room for adjusting to the scheme under Smith.
