Last year, we noted the potential rarity of RB Jaylen Warren finishing with the Pittsburgh Steelers’ lead in receptions. Ultimately, he fell two catches shy of first place, 61 to George Pickens’ 63. This year, another rarity could occur with TE Pat Freiermuth looking to grab first place.
Entering Week 18, Freiermuth is second on the team with 57 grabs. Despite missing three games, WR George Pickens remains on top with 58. If Freiermuth can tie or capture first place following the finale against the Cincinnati Bengals, he’ll be one of just a handful of tight ends to ever lead the Steelers in receptions.
