You may have heard about Pittsburgh Steelers rookie tight end Pat Freiermuth a time or two over the course of the season so far. The second-round pick has certainly been involved in some key moments for the team through the first eight games of his career, and has four touchdowns to show for his work to date.
Over the past few weeks since wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster’s season-ending injury, Freiermuth has not only been playing more, but playing a larger role, and that includes getting targeted more and more from quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, building a rapport that seems to be beyond their level of experience working together.
