Steelers plan to expand role for Pat Freiermuth this season

The Pittsburgh Steelers are looking to increase tight end Pat Freiermuth’s impact in the offense for the upcoming season, according to offensive coordinator Brian Angelichio. They aim to maximize his potential by utilizing his ability in one-on-one situations, particularly in the middle of the field. Freiermuth has emerged as a reliable target since joining the team, contributing significantly as a receiver. Following a season with 41 receptions for 486 yards, the Steelers intend to create more isolated opportunities for him, aligning with their goal of developing a more aggressive offensive strategy under head coach Mike McCarthy.
