As an offensive coordinator, Arthur Smith is something of an anomaly. Most in his position are the quarterback whisperers. The pass-game gurus. Those are the resumes that get noticed the most, garner all the interviews, and people teams covet. Smith? He’s old school. A former offensive lineman who worked up the ranks coaching tight ends. And when Pittsburgh tabbed him as its next OC, it was a happy day for Pat Freiermuth, Connor Heyward, and the Steelers’ tight end group.
Appearing on 93.7 The Fan Wednesday afternoon, reporter Aditi Kinkhabwala said she believes Freiermuth and Heyward could have big seasons.
