‘Give Me That Tom Brady Trait’: Ike Taylor Says Kenny Pickett’s Clutch Gene Makes Him ‘The Perfect Fit For The Pittsburgh Steelers’

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Kenny Pickett has been a polarizing figure in the NFL this season. Many hoped and expected Pickett to make a notable jump in Year Two after getting thrown into the fire his rookie season. He showed us glimpses of what that could look like during the preseason when he posted a perfect passer rating and looked like a quarterback on the verge of a full-fledged breakout in 2023. Alas, that breakout has yet to come. Pickett has seemingly stayed the same or regressed in some areas of his game as a sophomore in the league, failing to go through his progressions at times along with ball placement being off, missing open receivers as well as scrambling early from clean pockets.
