Last year, the Pittsburgh Steelers lacked weapons on offense. George Pickens and Najee Harris were both solid contributors, but they’re no longer with the Steelers. While they added DK Metcalf, the Steelers still don’t have great depth at wide receiver. Therefore, they could lean on their tight ends once again. Pat Freiermuth stepped up last year. Pittsburgh also traded for Jonnu Smith, a veteran tight end with the resume of a quality pass catcher. Despite them playing the same position, Freiermuth is excited to team up with Smith.
“I think we’re gonna work really well together,” Freiermuth said Thursday via the team’s website.
