ESPN’s Mike Tannenbaum, Connecting Kenny Pickett To Pittsburgh, Says Rookie Could Lead Steelers To Playoffs

ESPN’s Mike Tannenbaum, a former NFL executive with the New York Jets and Miami Dolphins, sure knows how to fire up the hot takes when it comes to the Pittsburgh Steelers and the quarterback position.

Of course, there was his “Ben Roethlisberger will be benched” in 2021 take that easily never came to fruition. But late last week, when discussing the 2022 NFL Draft, Tannenbaum fired off another hot take regarding the quarterback position in Pittsburgh.

Appearing on ESPN’s flagship morning show Get Up with Mike Greenberg, Tannenbaum stated that Pittsburgh rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett could lead the Steelers to the playoffs in 2022, should he be the Steelers’ selection.
