The Pittsburgh Steelers may not have a quarterback for 2025, but the pass-catching corps is going to be top-notch.

Earlier this offseason, the Steelers made a trade for former Seattle Seahawks wideout D.K. Metcalf.

He’ll add to the talent that’s already there and play opposite the much-maligned George Pickens and tight end Pat Freiermuth. Pickens was criticized last season for sometimes not playing through downs and for poor route-running.

But Freiermuth thinks the three of them will form a stout offense to defend.

“I’ve talked to [George Pickens] a decent amount this offseason. GP’s a great guy, he’s good to have in the locker room. Obviously, stuff happens on the field, but that’s just part of football and being a competitor. He cares, he tries a lot, he works hard. He’s a hell of a talent as well,” Freiermuth said. “So having him and DK on the outside, obviously with me in the middle of the field, is gonna cause defense a lot of conflict.

“I know GP is ready to work with DK, and GP is never shy of competition, so he’s gonna rely on DK for his advice and stuff like that. But GP’s ready to roll for sure.”

Freiermuth isn’t wrong.

But it all depends on who’s throwing the passes. And right now, that’s going to be Mason Rudolph. And for all he does on the field, he doesn’t instill fear in any defenses.

That’s something the Steelers will need to figure out sooner than later, as they continue to play the waiting game with Aaron Rodgers and watch quarterbacks fly off the board before the team picks at No. 21.
