While the Pittsburgh Steelers offense hasn’t had much success through the air, it’s certainly not for a lack of trying. QB Kenny Pickett ranks as the NFL’s most aggressive quarterback in the league, per Next Gen Stats. Pickett has an aggressiveness rating of 25.8%, edging out Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love, who has a 25.3% aggressiveness rating.
The aggressiveness stat measures the percentage of passing attempts a quarterback makes in which there is a defender within one yard or less of the receiver at the time of completion or incompletion. It’s more of a barometer of how often a quarterback is throwing into tight coverage, and Pickett being the highest-rated quarterback in the NFL makes sense given that the Steelers offense has the highest percentage of perfectly covered dropbacks in the NFL.
