The tight ends are the lifeblood of Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith’s offense, so say his tight ends, such as Pat Freiermuth and MyCole Pruitt. They have certainly stockpiled at the position as they move into the 2024 season. So far during OTAs, the group is noticing one very obvious trend: the offense goes as they go.
“They are moving us all around, and we’ve been heavily dependent on tight ends and where we line up”, Freiermuth said about how the Steelers are using the tight ends under Smith, via Joe Rutter of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
