Kevin Colbert is no longer the Pittsburgh Steelers’ general manager. Meaning we hear even less from him than we did when he ran the team. But in a rare interview since stepping down from his post, Colbert shared his thoughts on the final first round pick he’ll ever make – Pitt QB Kenny Pickett. In an interview on the Armstrong Neighborhood YouTube channel, Colbert analyzed Pickett’s play.
“Kenny took good strides,” Colbert told the show. “He really did. Any rookie quarterback goes through a tough adjustment period because it’s a completely different game.”
Pickett was the team’s first 1st round quarterback since Ben Roethlisberger in 2004, massive shoes to fill following Roethlisberger’s Hall of Fame career.
