Two catches, two touchdowns.
That’s a heck of a start to his NFL career for 2021 second-round draft pick Pat Freiermuth in his Pittsburgh Steelers’ preseason home debut. To hear the Penn State product talk about his sparkling home debut against the Detroit Lions Saturday in the Steelers’ third preseason game of the year, Freiermuth attributes his showing to the work he’s put in during the offseason in OTAs, minicamp and training camp.
Freiermuth has consistently caught nearly everything his way throughout training camp, according to our own Alex Kozora, and flashed his great hands once again Saturday, hauling in a leaping touchdown on the Steelers’ second drive from Ben Roethlisberger, and then made his spectacular twisting, leaping, toe-tapping catch in the back of the end zone on the third drive from Roethlisberger, taking a star turn in front of Steelers fans.
