Quietly, third-year Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth is working his way into the discussion regarding the best tight ends in the NFL.
Through two seasons, Freiermuth has hauled in 123 passes for 1,229 yards and nine touchdowns. That included a stellar rookie season in 2021 with Ben Roethlisberger under center, hauling in 60 passes for 497 yards and seven touchdowns. In Year 2, Freiermuth increased his receptions to 63 and yards to 732, but the touchdowns didn’t follow as the Steelers had some struggles in the red zone offensively.
Overall, the consensus is that Freiermuth is a top 10 tight end in the NFL, no matter where you look.
