Thanks to the Pittsburgh Steelers’ decision not to pick up Najee Harris’ fifth-year option, they have four draft picks from the class of 2021 due to reach unrestricted free agency in March, but arguably the most prominent is second-round TE Pat Freiermuth. Though coming off a down year, he has been identified as the Steelers’ most likely extension candidate this summer.
Determining his value is something of a tricky matter, however. As always, you pay a player based on what you expect him to do in the future. But that’s harder to predict for Freiermuth given the limitations within which he’s worked.
