Steelers couldn’t ask for a better opponent on National Tight Ends Day

The Pittsburgh Steelers arguably have the deepest tight end group in the NFL. While none of the quartet of Pat Freiermuth, Jonnu Smith, Darnell Washington or Connor Heyward have elite stats, the primary trio at the top of the depth chart have been reliable targets for Aaron Rodgers

This Sunday happens to be National Tight Ends Day, a young holiday that has proven to be a day where tight ends, whether elite or obscure, can become the entire highlight reel. The Steelers’ offense utilizes its tight ends heavily, almost out of necessity, so Yinzers expect a big performance regardless of the day or opponent.
