It might look a bit different to outsiders, but for Pittsburgh Steelers’ rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett, wearing two gloves as a quarterback is something that the former Pittsburgh Panthers’ star quite enjoys, which also happens to bring him a lot of comfort throwing the football.
Historically, quarterbacks like to directly feel the pigskin against their throwing hand, giving them the best grip possible while being able to spin the football and really control it overall. Of course, that tends to go out the window in bad weather. For Pickett though, even with questions regarding his historically-small hand size for the position, the gloves provide comfort for him as a passer, rain or shine.
