Kenny Pickett came in on Sunday and turned around the Steelers offense, who struggled to put up six points in the first half. It’s expected that he’ll remain the starter. Diontae Johnson praised the way Pickett carries himself while talking to reporters today.
“He played with swagger. When he comes in the huddle, he demands you huddle up, come in, listen. Everybody respects him, basically. He’s a great player. He’s young, going to continue to learn and develop. It’s our job to make him look good and help him stay comfortable while he’s out there,” Johnson said via Steelers Live on Twitter.
