Kenny Pickett Whiff Has Steelers ‘Spooked,’ Believes Beat Writer

The Pittsburgh Steelers are undoubtedly doing a ton of homework on the quarterbacks in the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft. They’ve met extensively with multiple quarterbacks, including Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders, Alabama’s Jalen Milroe, and Ole Miss’ Jaxson Dart. But the specter of former Steelers and now Cleveland Browns QB Kenny Pickett could very well be haunting the halls in the team’s practice facility.

Three years ago, the Steelers invested the 20th overall pick in Pickett. And after two years of incredibly unspectacular quarterback play, they signed QB Russell Wilson to a free agent contract. And within the week, Pickett was across the state with the Philadelphia Eagles, and the Steelers had traded for Justin Fields.
