The Pittsburgh Steelers enter 2023 believing that they have put together their strongest tight end room they have seen since at least Heath Miller’s last year—and they ought to, considering they have invested in the position through the draft in three straight years, including a pair of day-two picks.
The ‘veteran’ of that particular trio—Zach Gentry has been here longer—is Pat Freiermuth, drafted in the second round in 2021. He has caught 123 passes for 1229 yards and nine touchdowns through his first two seasons. Regarded as one of the up-and-comers at the position, he’s already rubbing off on the younger guys.
