Could Pat Freiermuth be the Steelers’ answer at slot receiver?

The longer the offseason goes on and the Steelers don’t make any real signings at slot receiver, the more I start to see the vision of what Arthur Smith has in store for the position.

The Steelers have added the likes of Quez Watkins and Van Jefferson to the receivers room, but still lack two additional real starting caliber go-to receivers to go with George Pickens. After the addition of tight end MyCole Pruitt, though, it seems evident that the Steelers already have their slot receiver on the roster- Pat Freiermuth.

It’s no secret that the former second-round pick isn’t great at blocking off the line.
