As the outside world contemplates the Steelers’ needs at receiver, TE Pat Freiermuth is putting his hat in the ring. The fifth-year tight end hasn’t had the opportunities he usually does, but he reminded fans of his abilities in Week 8. Despite the loss, he had a career game with 111 yards and two touchdowns.
This week, there is talk of interest in WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and rumors about trade targets persist. After all, the trade deadline is just around the corner. But perhaps they see the untapped potential already on the roster. Can Pat Freiermuth be the number two target?
