LATROBE, Pa. -- By all accounts, Pat Freiermuth had a successful rookie season for the Steelers.
The 2021 second-round draft pick had 60 receptions for 497 yards and seven touchdowns despite not really becoming a full-time player until midway through the season.
Now heading into his second season there is a feeling the 23-year-old Freiermuth is set to become the next big thing at the tight end position in the NFL.
"With him, I was really impressed with his passing game skillset when he got here," Steelers tight ends coach Alfredo Roberts told me of the former Penn State star.
