## Resource

Pat Freiermuth climbs to 20 in PFF’s tight end rankings, showcasing elite consistency, first downs, and yards after catch, while Darnell Washington, ranked 27, dominates with his physicality and elite blocking — and he’s also a dangerous receiver, ranking 5th in broken tackles and 2nd in yards per reception. Rookie Germie Bernard is drawing comparisons to Deebo Samuel, praised for his clean play, route-running, and blocking — and yes, he’s actually a receiver, not just a blocker. Washington’s sheer size has even fooled defensive players, who initially mistook him for a defensive lineman — and now he’s demanding double teams. And George Pickens? Still explosive, as Warren Sharp’s clip proves — the Steelers’ offense is loaded with playmakers. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
