It didn’t take long for Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger to get two touchdowns against the Detroit Lions in the first quarter of Saturday’s preseason game. And if you are a Steelers fan, you have to love that Roethlisberger is already showing a connection with rookie tight end Pat Freiermuth, who caught them both.
Freiermuth is a ridiculous athlete and he showed it on both scores. Pittsburgh needs a guy who can work the seams and overpower defenders in the red zone. This is exactly what he did twice on Saturday night against Lions defenders.
It’s just a preseason game but it’s hard not to get excited about the potential of this Roethlisberger/Freiermuth connection this season.
