Pitt quarterback Kenny Pickett is still weighing whether or not to play in the Peach Bowl, but he has not played his last college football game. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, that game will be the 2022 Senior Bowl, as Pickett accepted an invitation to college football’s top all-star game on Thursday.
Jim Nagy, a former NFL scout and the current executive director of the Senior Bowl, saw greatness in Pickett long before it was obvious to the masses. Notably, he said Pickett will “play on Sundays” and called him “one of the most mechanically sound guys we’ve seen over past few drafts” in July 2020.
