10/14/25 | Pat Freiermuth Once Again The Odd Man Out In Steelers’ Offense, TE Room. For the second game in a row, TE Pat Freiermuth had a surprisingly small role in the Steelers’ offensive game plan.

10/11/25 | The Steelers’ Tight End Stat That Actually Alarms Me. Much has been made about the Pittsburgh Steelers’ tight end usage this season. Or more accurately, a lack of usage. Pat Freiermuth has just seven receptions, while Jonnu Smith has gone quiet for stretches. Against the Minnesota Vikings, neither saw the field much as Darnell Washington and Spencer Anderson dominated the snap count. I’m less […] Source: https://steelersdepot.com/2025/10/the-steelers-tig... |
