Freiermuth was a 4-star recruit in the 2018 class, choosing Penn State over at least a dozen other offers that included Notre Dame, Ohio State and LSU.

He made an immediate impact with the Nittany Lions, earning honorable mention All-Big Ten honors as a true freshman. Freiermuth’s 26 receptions and 368 yards each ranked 2nd on the team behind only K.J. Hamler. His 8 TDs beat Hamler’s total by 3, ranked 2nd among all FBS TEs and accounted for 38.1% of his team’s total.

As a sophomore, Freiermuth checked in 2nd behind Hamler in catches, receiving yards and TDs. His season proved good enough for 2nd-team All-Big Ten honors, and the TE was chosen Penn State’s most valuable offensive player.

His 2020 campaign got off to a torrid start. Freiermuth caught 6+ passes in 3 of his first 4 games, averaging 77.5 yards per contest. But then a shoulder injury ended his season. Despite playing only 4 of Penn State’s 9 games, he still finished 3rd on the team in both receptions and yards. Freiermuth jumped his catches per game to 5.75, after averaging 3.31 and 2.17 the previous 2 years. He led all FBS TEs in receptions per game, ranked 5th in yards per contest and still wont the Big Ten's TE of the Year award.

Freiermuth actually injured his right shoulder in the season’s 2nd game but played through it for that contest and then 2 more before having surgery late in November. He tore the anterior and posterior labrum, but the expected 5-6 month recovery process should have him ready in plenty of time for his rookie season. (Six months from the surgery date would be the end of May.)

Pat Freiermuth Highlights

Games watched: Nebraska, Maryland, Michigan 2019

Pat Freiermuth is a TE. He’s not related to fellow Penn State alum Mike Gesicki other than hailing from the same program.

The biggest difference between them: Freiermuth doesn’t mind blocking. You can find plenty of standard examples in pass or run blocking. In this clip, he doubles first before sliding off to deliver the key block to break a long run …

Freiermuth still has some development to do in his blocking. Even in just the 3 full games I found, there were multiple occasions of Freiermuth catching rather than delivering a blow …

For our purposes, of course, the blocking only matters insofar as it gets him onto the field early in his NFL career. That shouldn’t be a problem.

Freiermuth looks like he sports enough blocking acumen to get him on the field for the receiving stuff that we really crave. And he presents a well-rounded package in that area as well.

The Nittany Lions lined him up in various spots, from inline here (he beats a DB on a drag route) …

Freiermuth doesn’t fit the “new-age” TE mold where he’ll burn defenders with speed. But he moves well enough to be effective after the catch.

And although he isn’t a punishing runner, there’s certainly some of the ruggedness you’d expect in a guy his size.

Freiermuth likely won’t prove fast enough to consistently separate from coverage downfield, but he is capable of working deeper routes.

And he has the hands to win in contested situations.

Fantasy Outlook

Freiermuth looks like what you expect a TE to look like. He also looks like an athlete worth betting on.

Before arriving at Penn State, he succeeded at LB and RB in addition to his TE duties, and also played basketball throughout his high school career.

He’s not going to wow you with any particular aspect of his game, but Freiermurth also doesn’t present a glaring weakness. We’ll see whether the shoulder recovery impedes his rookie-year development, but a decent situation should make him productive early in his pro career.

Aaron Rodgers QB UNS

Aaron Rodgers Close to Signing With PIT?

Aaron Rodgers Close to Signing With PIT?

Steelers owner Art Rooney II said Tuesday that he expects his team to sign free agent QB Aaron Rodgers. “We keep hearing that he’s headed in our direction,” Rooney said at the NFL owners meetings, via the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. “I’d say we feel pretty good about it at this time.” Rooney added that he's willing to wait "a little longer" to get an answer from Rodgers. Rodgers initially met with the Steelers on March 21.

The Steelers are acquiring WR DK Metcalf from the Seahawks and giving him a big contract extension. NFL Network reports that Metcalf is getting a four-year, $132 million extension tacked onto the final year of his current deal. That will pay him $33 million per year after this season and lock him in with Pittsburgh through 2029. Seattle is getting a second-round pick (52nd overall) plus a late-round pick swap.

Steelers WR George Pickens (hamstring) is out for Saturday's game vs. the Ravens. He remained sidelined in practice all week, leaving him uncertain for Week 17. TE Pat Freiermuth is the only member of Pittsburgh's passing game that should be in fantasy lineups this week.

Steelers WR George Pickens (hamstring) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Eagles. He didn’t practice all week. Reportedly dealing with a Grade 2 hamstring strain, Pickens is not a lock to make it back for Week 16. Pittsburgh’s WRs are hands-off in fantasy football against a stout Philadelphia secondary. TE Pat Freiermuth gets a boost with Pickens out.

Steelers WR George Pickens reportedly has a Grade 2 Hamstring strain and will likely miss next week's game against the Eagles. Pickens missed yesterday's game against the Browns as a game-time decision, but the injury appears to be more severe than describing this week.
