Outside of Joey Porter Jr., there might not be a current Pittsburgh Steelers player with better alumni connections than TE Pat Freiermuth. Not only does he have a great relationship with TE Heath Miller and QB Ben Roethlisberger, he also had the opportunity to build a relationship with Franco Harris before he passed away.
A fellow Penn State alum, Harris had the opportunity to announce the Steelers’ selection when they drafted Freiermuth in the second round in 2021. He didn’t quite get it all out exactly as he was supposed to. Freiermuth made sure to rib him for that whenever they got together.
