Food Podcast: Steelers rookie Pat Freiermuth helps out at Food Bank

On the latest episode of the Food Podcast presented by Clearview Federal Credit Union on the TribLIVE podcast network, Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank sits down with Steelers rookie tight end Pat Freiermuth.

Freiermuth was one of several Steelers rookies who visited and volunteered at the Food Bank this week. The team members packed 850 boxes of frozen meat for Washington County.

While he scored his first career NFL touchdown this week, Freiermuth said service in the community is an important part of showing leadership off the field.

“I lead well and I try to set a positive role model for kids who are following my career. I think that’s something really big to be a good role model and to use my platform for good,” said Freiermuth.

Freiermuth said community service was something he did when he was at Penn State. He said he enjoyed giving back through THON and other community service as captain.

“Ever since a young age my parents have done a good job at raising me, my brother and my sister to be a leader in our community and to be someone to look up to using our platform,” said Freiermuth.
