Coming off of a rather down 2023 season that as marred by injury and improper usage within the offensive scheme, Pittsburgh Steelers’ tight end Pat Freiermuth’s stock has seemingly plummeted within the NFL.
Mostly a pass-catching only tight end with very little benefit as a blocker, Freiermuth appeared poised for a big 2023 season, but struggles under center early on in the season from Kenny Pickett, along with the lack of usage in the middle of the field and then a hamstring injury put a damper on Freiermuth’s 2023 season.
The Penn State product tried to return in Week 5 from the hamstring injury, but he re-aggravated it, landing on Injured Reserve before eventually returning in Week 11 on the road against the Cleveland Browns.
