It has been a rollercoaster few years for Kenny Pickett. After being the top quarterback drafted in the 2022 NFL Draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers, he showed enough promise in his rookie season to give many hope that he could be the team’s franchise quarterback of the future. Those hopes were elevated after his second preseason in which he lit up the scoreboard. But then he fell flat during the regular season, got benched after an ankle injury in favor of Mason Rudolph, and then got traded to the Philadelphia Eagles when Russell Wilson signed with the Steelers.
Now, there are questions over whether he’ll even be able to win the top backup job behind starting QB Jalen Hurts, per 94WIP’s Eagles beat reporter Eliot Shorr-Parks on X.
