Over this past offseason, rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett and second-year tight end Pat Freiermuth worked together this offseason in Pickett’s home state of New Jersey.
“His girlfriend lives about fifteen minutes from where I’m from, so when he was in town, I was like, we’ll definitely get together and we’ll train. So that was awesome. And I think, you know, a couple summers down the road now we’ll be able to link up together in Jersey and train a little bit,” Pickett said in a interview posted to Steelers.com.
It’s a good sign that Pickett and Freiermuth were able to get together and work out away from team activities over the summer.
