Fresh off of a breakout rookie season that featured 60 receptions for 497 yards and seven touchdowns, Pittsburgh Steelers’ tight end Pat Freiermuth is poised for a big second season as more of a focal point of the black and gold’s offense.
Though Ben Roethlisberger rode off into retirement, the additions of veteran free agent QB Mitch Trubisky and rookie QB Kenny Pickett should allow Freiermuth to remain productive at a high rate, considering they use the middle of the field at a much higher clip than Roethlisberger ever did.
Thanks to his outstanding rookie season and a bright future ahead, Pro Football Focus remains rather high on Freiermuth moving forward, placing the Steelers’ second-year tight end at No.
