Matt Canada Praises TE Pat Freiermuth: ‘I Think He Gets Better Every Week’

Whether they like it or not, the Pittsburgh Steelers have had to lean heavily on their rookie draft class this year just to field some semblance of a competent starting lineup, particularly on the offensive side of the ball, where they have each of their top four draft picks starting.

There’s the two starting along the offensive line, of course, in third-round center Kendrick Green and fourth-round tackle Dan Moore Jr. Obviously, you have the first-round draft pick, running back Najee Harris, with four touchdowns and averaging more than 100 yards from scrimmage per game.

And then there is the man they call MUUUTTTHHH, Pat Freiermuth, the second-round tight end out of Penn State.
