Though he currently sits third on the depth chart, at least in terms of snaps received, at OTAs, Pittsburgh Steelers’ rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett remains the cream of the crop at quarterback, at least in terms of his fellow rookies from the 2022 NFL Draft class.
At 24 years old, Pickett was considered the most pro-ready quarterback in the draft class, ahead of Cincinnati’s Desmond Ridder. Now, he just needs to get onto the field. He’ll have to beat out the likes of Mitch Trubisky and Mason Rudolph in training camp to do so, but even if he doesn’t and opens the regular season on the bench, there’s a great chance he sees the field at some point in 2022 as the Steelers officially kick off the Pickett era.
