Pat Freiermuth: Relationship With Ben Roethlisberger ‘Gonna Be Special For Us This Year’

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has seen a lot of players come and go during his nearly two decades in the NFL. Two tight ends have already played their entire careers since he first came into the league, the first being Heath Miller, the second being Vance McDonald, with only a couple of years of overlap.

Both are now retired, the former long gone, but now he has Pat Freiermuth, the rookie out of Penn State, who is the highest-traded tight end by the Steelers since Miller in 2005. The man they call MUUUTTTHHH whenever he catches a pass is just building his relationship with Roethlisberger, and frankly, for that matter, with the Steelers as well.
