Things didn’t end all that well in 2024 for fourth-year tight end Pat Freiermuth of the Pittsburgh Steelers, as he had just three receptions for 15 yards in the Wild Card Round loss to the Baltimore Ravens one week after dropping a crucial fourth-down pass late in the regular season finale against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Despite that tough close to the season, Freiermuth had a strong 2024 season after signing a four-year extension with the franchise, finishing with 65 receptions for 653 yards and seven touchdowns, reaching numbers he hadn’t achieved since his rookie season, at least from a touchdowns perspective.
