It’s been a whirlwind of a week for new Pittsburgh Steelers interim offensive coordinator and running backs coach Eddie Faulkner. After watching close friend Matt Canada be fired from his post as offensive coordinator, Faulker steps into the limelight alongside quarterbacks coach Mike Sullivan for the Steelers’ offense, which has been one of the league’s worst.
With the changes comes new responsibilities for Faulker, along with further cultivating relationships within the locker room with players. That includes quarterback Kenny Pickett.
Speaking with the media Thursday, Faulkner stated that he and Pickett have a good relationship overall, which started even before Faulkner became interim OC.
