Two years after being a first-round pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2022 NFL Draft, former Pitt Panthers’ star quarterback Kenny Pickett is no longer in the Steel City.
Instead, he’s in the green and white of his childhood favorite team, the Philadelphia Eagles after a rather stunning offseason trade, which Pickett himself ultimately wanted.
Though the Steelers completely overhauled the quarterback room this offseason, bringing in Russell Wilson, Justin Fields and Kyle Allen and saying goodbye to Pickett, Mitch Trubisky and Mason Rudolph, the loss of Pickett will be felt for the Steelers throughout the 2024 season.
