To many Steelers’ fans, this was their first look at Pat Freiermuth’s hands in the NFL. Safe to say he passed that test. But to Mike Tomlin, and those who have watched Freiermuth in camp, it’s just more of the same. Tomlin was asked about Freiermuth’s two-touchdown performance in Saturday night’s win over Detroit.
“I don’t think he’s shown anything different than what he’s shown us throughout every component of the process,” Tomlin said in his post-game press conference. “Even dating back to minicamp, he made a very similar play in red zone in minicamp. I don’t think any of us are surprised by what he was able to do tonight.
