NFL Future Watch: Pat Freiermuth Football Cards, Pittsburgh Steelers – Pat Freiermuth was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers with the 55th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, yet he is already carving out playing time. At 6’5”, 258 pounds, he was seemingly born to play this position. He played basketball and football in high school, but football won out, and he committed to Penn State University.
He played as a true freshman and started nine of 13 games. Freiermuth had eight touchdowns, the most by a freshman since Deon Butler had nine in 2005.
In his sophomore season in 2019, he had 43 catches for 507 yards and seven touchdowns, ranking him 4th in the FBS among tight ends. He was selected All-America second team by the Athletic.
In 2020, this prospect made four starts and then missed the rest of the season due to an injury. He had 23 receptions for 310 yards. He averaged 77.5 yards per game. That was enough to get him named to the Kwalick-Clark Big Ten Tight End of the Year Award. He was the first Penn State tight end to win the award.
Freiermuth decided to forego his senior season and enter the NFL Draft. The NFL Combine was canceled due to the pandemic and that may have cost him a first-round selection.
Freiermuth has become a solid target for Ben Roethlisberger. He’s averaging 35 yards per game and has six touchdowns. His long catch is 24 yards, and he’s recovered from a week 12 concussion. All in all, this has been a very successful rookie season.

Freiermuth’s first card to look at is his 2021 Absolute Football Rookie. He’s shown in action trying to run for some big yards after the catch. There is a gold variation of this card that is another one to shoot for.
Another one to get is his 2021 Panini Certified Auto Freshman Fabric Rookie Card. This is a numbered card with several patch and color variations.
Finally, Freiermuth’s 2021 Panini Origins Rookie Card has a colorful background that includes the tight end in action with the rock. When you see that big man running down the field, all you can do is try and slow him down for your teammates to help you tackle him. This is an on-card autograph, and his jersey has the number 00. When you get a 00, that’s your camp number with the hope that you can prove yourself in the preseason and make the team. He did and will continue to do that down the road as number 88.
