Grupo de tight ends dos Steelers é classificado como o quinto melhor da NFL

O grupo de tight ends do Pittsburgh Steelers foi classificado como uma das cinco melhores unidades da NFL para a temporada de 2026 pelo Yahoo Sports.

O Yahoo Sports colocou os Steelers em quinto lugar na liga após a equipe assinar uma extensão de contrato com Darnell Washington. A unidade agora conta com dois dos 12 tight ends mais bem pagos da NFL: Washington e Pat Freiermuth.

Jacob Infante observou que Pittsburgh registrou a segunda maior taxa de utilização de pessoal 13 na temporada passada. Tanto Freiermuth quanto Washington ficaram entre os 20 melhores no PFN TE Impact Scoring, tornando os Steelers uma das únicas duas equipes com múltiplos tight ends nesse grupo.

A posição de terceiro tight end permanece em aberto. Os candidatos incluem o veterano Robert Tonyan, o calouro não draftado Lake McRee e a ex-escolha dos Patriots, Jaheim Bell. O novo coordenador ofensivo Brian Angelichio traz uma vasta experiência como treinador de tight ends.

Espera-se que Freiermuth e Washington liderem a posição sob o comando do técnico Mike McCarthy.
