Coming off of a terrific preseason in which he led the starting offense of the Pittsburgh Steelers on five drives, scoring five touchdowns, the buzz surrounding second-year quarterback Kenny Pickett is only growing louder.
It reached a crescendo Thursday morning, thanks to Good Morning Football co-host Peter Schrager.
Schrager, who has spoke glowingly about Pickett all offseason on through training camp and the preseason, tabbed Pickett as his No. 1 breakout player of the 2023 season, stating that he believes the Steelers’ signal caller is going to have the type of season where everyone in the NFL universe starts to seriously question how 19 teams passed on Pickett in the first round, allowing him to land with the Black and Gold.
