2021 NFL Draft: Breaking down what Pat Freiermuth bring to the Steelers

In the 2nd Round of the 2021 NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers drafted Pat Freiermuth, tight end from Penn State. Tight end was a need for the Steelers, as they had Eric Ebron, but beyond Ebron they had some good depth pieces but nothing significant. Offensive coordinator Matt Canada typically uses multiple tight ends in his offense, so adding a second good tight end to the roster was a priority.

What Pat Freiermuth brings to that offense is the focus of this film room.
