One of the biggest flaws of Pittsburgh Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth’s game has been his blocking, but in 2024, it seems as if Freiermuth has turned a corner and become someone the Steelers can count on to block and make plays in the run game.
“I’ve struggled in the past but shoutout Artie Smith for kind of bringing me in and putting me in situations where I can be successful at it, so really appreciative of him and putting me in situations where I can succeed,” Freiermuth said Tuesday on The Pat McAfee Show.
Freiermuth had the key block that sealed the edge on RB Najee Harris’ 36-yard touchdown run in Week 6 against the Las Vegas Raiders, and this season it’s an area where he’s shown major growth.
