Colin Cowherd: Steelers Will ‘Delude Themselves’ Believing In Kenny Pickett, Claims Team Scared To Draft QB Until Big Ben Retired

After slamming Pittsburgh Steelers QB Kenny Pickett immediately following the team’s 20-16 win over the Tennessee Titans Thursday night, FOX Sports’ Colin Cowherd went back for seconds during his Friday radio show. Offering similar commentary, Cowherd doubled down that Pickett isn’t the future of the Steelers’ franchise and reiterated his claim Pittsburgh only drafted him because he was local.

“Nobody thinks Kenny Pickett’s got the arm, the juice, the ‘it.'” Cowherd said. “Nobody because he doesn’t. He was a third-round pick. They reached on because they were desperate at quarterback because Big Ben scared them every time they considered drafting his heir apparent.
