Steelers' Pat Freiermuth: Impressing early in camp

Freiermuth has performed well early in training camp, Albert Breer of TheMMQB.com reports.

Freiermuth had a strong practice Saturday and made several impressive catches while the team practiced without pads. The tight end suffered a season-ending shoulder injury after appearing in just four games at Penn State in 2020, but he still totaled 1,185 yards and 16 touchdowns across his three collegiate seasons. The 22-year-old will face another test soon when the Steelers practice in full pads, but he appears to be on track to compete for a role in Pittsburgh's offense ahead of the regular season.
