Tune into any episode of Ben Roethlisberger’s Footbahlin’ podcast, and you will probably hear him talk about how underutilized TE Pat Freiermuth is for the Pittsburgh Steelers. I can’t tell you how many weeks I have written Freiermuth in as an x-factor for the upcoming game, thinking it will finally be his week to break out and be a big part of the offense.
He got more involved over the final two weeks of the regular season, but he was meant to be the de-facto WR2 and only had four games with over 50 yards through the first 15 games.
