Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin told reporters during Thursday’s pre-game press conference that the team has “every intention of playing the three quarterbacks”. There are, of course, four quarterbacks on the roster, even if everybody understood him to mean Mitch Trubisky, Mason Rudolph, and rookie Kenny Pickett.
Rookie first-round quarterback Kenny Pickett, that is, as he is not the only rookie quarterback that they drafted. The other would be Chris Oladokun, a seventh-round draft pick, who has been left in the dust, given no opportunity to participate during live team drills as the coaching staff tries to figure out who the starter is.
