After what can only be characterized as an extremely uneventful and slow start to TE Pat Freiermuth’s 2024 campaign—scoring just two touchdowns through the first eleven games of the season—the Pittsburgh Steelers’ tight end has recently improved his scoring prowess, with two receiving touchdowns in the last two games.
Slowly but surely, Freiermuth has seemingly emerged as the team’s primary scoring option. He is currently tied for the most touchdowns on the Steelers’ roster with WR Calvin Austin III.
QB Russell Wilson and Freiermuth have steadily built up their chemistry, and defenses must now prepare for the red-zone and scoring threat that the 6’5″, 258-pound tight end presents.
