Zach Gentry finds himself staring at a role on the Steelers’ 53-man roster

The Pittsburgh Steelers tight ends are a mixed bag of players. You have the athletic, pass catching tight end in Eric Ebron. The young, brimming with talent Pat Friermuth. But who could be the genuine two-way tight end who can both run and pass block? Is there someone on the roster who could be a Matt Spaeth type player who is used as a blocker, without having to deploy an extra offensive lineman?

Could it actually be Zach Gentry? You know, the 2019 5th round draft pick out of Michigan. Remember him?

Gentry relatively disappointed in his rookie season, and his 2020 season was cut short due to a knee injury.
