After years of being an older team overall on both sides of the football, the Pittsburgh Steelers are transitioning to a younger demographic, especially on offense.
The selection of quarterback Kenny Pickett in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft Thursday night in Las Vegas seemingly completed that youth movement, at least at the most important position.
With Pickett in the fold at 24 years of age, the Steelers now have an offensive nucleus that’s all around the same age range with running back Najee Harris (24), Diontae Johnson (25), Chase Claypool (23), and Pat Freiermuth (23), not to mention the average age of the projected starting offensive line of Dan Moore Jr.
