The Pittsburgh Steelers found a stud tight end in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft. When they selected Pat Freiermuth out of Penn State it signified the Steelers wanting to upgrade a position they hadn’t had a real talent since Heath Miller retired. The best part is Freiermuth delivered and had one of the best rookie seasons a Steelers tight end has ever had.
Heading into the 2022 season, the Steelers are going to need Freiermuth to do even more. With the departures of JuJu Smith-Schuster, James Washington, and Ray-Ray McCloud the Steelers offense has a lot of holes on their pass catching depth chart.
