The bedrock of Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth’s rookie season, even more than his hands, was his scoring production. He put the ball in the end zone seven times, tied for the fourth-most by a rookie in team history and the most (tied with fellow tight end Eric Green) by a non-wide receiver.
He scored two touchdowns last season, and for whatever it’s worth, neither of them were thrown by the Steelers’ primary starting quarterback, Kenny Pickett. Both of them came from Mitch Trubisky, first in week two against the New England Patriots and then in week 14 against the Baltimore Ravens after Pickett was injured.
