The Kenny Pickett Era for the Pittsburgh Steelers has begun, and with it comes a lot of excitement and anticipation for not only the hometown favorite quarterback, but for the future prospects of the Steelers’ organization in the NFL.
After 18 seasons of Ben Roethlisberger at the helm, the Steelers are in a bit of a transition under center, which has led to Pickett. Replacing veteran free agent signee Mitch Trubisky at halftime in the Week 4 loss to the New York Jets, Pickett showed some promise, leading two scoring drives that he finished off with his legs, becoming the first rookie quarterback to have two rushing touchdowns in his NFL debut.
