If there’s any silver lining to missing on a first-round quarterback like Kenny Pickett, the Pittsburgh Steelers can take those tough lessons to improve their next search for a franchise quarterback. Already teasing the idea of having an eye towards the draft, owner Art Rooney II briefly recapped Pickett’s failure to become the team’s next franchise quarterback.
In essentially his first comments since Pickett was traded last March, Rooney admitted it was disappointing for the organization to swing and miss.
“Obviously it’s disappointing that Kenny didn’t work out to be our long-term quarterback here,” Rooney told reporters as aired by 93.
