“The Steelers’ 2024 tight end room”

TIGHT END ROOM PREDICTIONS- Pat Freiermuth, Darnell Washington, Connor Heyward, MyCole Pruitt



Pat Freiermuth has been the starter since 2022 and will continue to be one heading into his fourth year. Pat has over 1,500 career yaards and is coming off his worst season. Battling through a pulled hamstring and a concussion, Pat’s performance is 2023 can be excused. However, Steelers fans expect big things from Pat, who has a fresh start in 2024. Connor Heyward and Darnell Washinton are the projected number two and three guys at tight end. Heyward and Washington’s play styles are different from one another. However, in this case, it actually helps them and the team.



While it is obvious that this group will not be record breaking, they could very well get recognized as a top tier tight end core by the end of the season. With such versatility within this position group, Freiermuth, Washinton, Heyward, and Pruit all have paths to do great in the offense. And with Arthur Smith as offensive coordinator, this group is destined to succeed in 2024.
