Ever since training camp, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ plan with their pass catchers has been a hot topic. Outside of DK Metcalf and Calvin Austin III, there’s a real lack of depth at wide receiver. That’s been characteristic of the position for quite some time now, dating back to 2024 when the Steelers were at the forefront of Brandon Aiyuk trade rumors. However, one position where the Steelers have a bevy of depth is at TE.
With Pat Freiermuth, Darnell Washington, Jonnu Smith and Connor Heyward in the fold, the Steelers have four tight ends, all with versatile skill sets.
