However, TruEdge Sports, the organization running the camp, announced that current Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth committed to appearing at the event in Pickens’ absence, adding that some of Freiermuth’s Steelers teammates might make the trip as well.

Pat Freiermuth’s decision to salvage a youth football camp from cancellation is the latest example of the 26-year-old tight taking on a leadership role – on and off the field – for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The email, which goes out of its way to repeatedly dump on Pickens, explains that the event has been rescheduled for July 20, with Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth (and potentially other Steelers players) replacing Pickens.
