Pickett: 'We're definitely playing for [Harris] this week'

Kenny Pickett's Steelers career started with an exclamation.

"This is incredible!"

After being handed the card containing the Steelers' first-round selection at this past April's NFL Draft, Steelers legend Franco Harris could barely contain his excitement and approval of the who his old club was taking. Playing to the crowd, shaking the card and repeating "I love this," Mr. Harris was the one to officially announce Pickett was a Steeler.

"One of the best moments of my life, outside of family and getting engaged, was that draft night," Pickett said Thursday at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex.
