Steelers’ TE Pat Freiermuth Named Player That ‘Surprised Most’ During Offseason

The hype train for fourth-year Pittsburgh Steelers’ tight end Pat Freiermuth continues to gain steam and roll down the tracks at a high rate of speed towards the start of the 2024 regular season.

With new offensive coordinator Arthur Smith overseeing the Steelers’ offense in 2024, expectations are sky-high for the fourth-year tight end, who is coming off of a rough 2023 season marred by injury, but now has a great opportunity in front of him to bounce back in a tight end-friendly offense.

Throughout Organized Team Activities and mandatory minicamp, Freiermuth has turned heads, looking like a potentially significant playmaker in the Steelers’ offense, which still has questions that need answered among the pass-catchers.
