Entering the 2023 season, Pittsburgh Steelers second-year quarterback Kenny Pickett seems to be in a rather good spot from a leadership and experience standpoint.

That experience now has him set up for a second-year leap, which has former Steelers backup quarterback and analyst Charlie Batch liking where Pickett is entering Year 2.
