Through two seasons in the NFL, Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth has quickly ascended to a star-level role at the position.
Just one of two tight ends in NFL history to have 60+ receptions in each of his first two seasons in the NFL, joining Keith Jackson, Freiermuth has become one of the smartest, most consistent tight ends in the NFL. Now, according to Pro Football Focus, he finds himself squarely in the second tier of players at the position. Labeled as “great with potential to become elite,” he landed at No. 6 overall in PFF’s tight end rankings Wednesday morning.
