Summary
Steelers’ tight end depth chart is set at the top with Darnell Washington and Pat Freiermuth locked in, but the real drama unfolds behind them as the team scrambles to fill four spots after losing key contributors like Connor Heyward and Jonnu Smith. Riley Nowakowski and Robert Tonyan are the early frontrunners, with Nowakowski’s versatility mirroring Heyward’s and Tonyan bringing veteran savvy despite a recent decline. Undrafted rookie Lake McRee and lesser-known prospects like JJ Galbreath and Jaheim Bell are fighting for scraps, making this the most unpredictable part of Pittsburgh’s roster as camp kicks off.
