When the Pittsburgh Steelers selected TE Pat Freiermuth in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft, he got to play with QB Ben Roethlisberger in his final NFL season. While Heath Miller is the tight end most people identify with Roethlisberger’s tenure, Freiermuth did get to play in 16 of the 17 games as a rookie. He even started nine games.
On Wednesday, Freiermuth joined Podward State, a Penn State student-run podcast, to discuss both his tenure with the Nittany Lions and the Steelers. One of the topics of discussion was playing with Roethlisberger.
“It was awesome,” Freiermuth said.
