The real Pat Freiermuth doesn’t have to stand-up. We know who he is. He’s been the same guy in 2024 since being drafted in 2021. A sure-handed receiver, gritty after the catch, and a below-average blocker.
But the real life Pat Freiermuth is standing up. Literally. Combining all those factors and under new offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, Freiermuth has been on his feet a majority of the time.
It’s a topic we brought up during the preseason. At the time, we noted Freiermuth had been standing up like a wide receiver 41.9-percent of the time.
