Kenny Pickett and the Philadelphia Eagles will play the Steelers in 2024, but don’t expect Pickett to have a chance to get revenge on his former team. After being traded to the Eagles, Pickett will backup Jalen Hurts and might also face competition for the backup role from Tanner McKee, who the Eagles drafted with the 188th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.
But it’s a notable matchup now for reasons besides the in-state rivalry, as the Steelers sent Pickett to Philadelphia after just 25 starts as the team’s starting quarterback. Pickett was supposed to be Pittsburgh’s franchise guy, with the team spending the 20th overall pick on the quarterback in 2022.
