‘Get Him Involved:’ Hoke Calls On Steelers To Focus On Freiermuth Or Else He’s ‘Not Gonna Be Happy’

The Pittsburgh Steelers are 3-1, and the offense is finding its stride. But there’s more work to do. For former Steelers DL Chris Hoke, that means getting TE Pat Freiermuth the football. Offering his overview of the team through the first month, Hoke wants Freiermuth to earn his paycheck.

“They’re paying those guys too much money,” Hoke said on 93.7 The Fan on Thursday. “I mean, they’re paying Freiermuth, I think $10 million a year. So they gotta get him in the game. Him to play what, 15-16 percent of the snaps. Freiermuth’s not gonna be happy.
