The Steelers selected Penn State tight end Pat Freiermuth in the second round of the NFL Draft. Is he the player the team has been missing?
Since Heath Miller’s retirement in 2015, the Steelers have tried and failed to fill his old role with late-round draft picks and discount-free agents. That philosophy obviously wasn’t working. However, there were a few times when we thought they may have actually found their man.
In 2016, the Steelers signed Ladarius Green after his rookie contract with the Chargers had expired.
