This Monday as the Pittsburgh Steelers finish up their final week of OTAs, 1st round rookie QB Kenny Pickett turns 24 years old.

The decision was the best one Pickett could have made as he went on finish third in the Heisman voting last season while breaking Joe Marino’s all-time passing mark at Pitt, enjoying a breakout campaign to the tune of 4,319 yards, 42 touchdowns to only seven INTs with another five rushing scores, a 165.
