Kenny Pickett was a rookie last season, meaning that the got the rookie treatment you would expect from a quarterback starting his first games in the NFL. This led to a simplified offensive system to help bring Pickett along rather than trying to have him run the show right away. However, this approach led to Pittsburgh having a pretty stagnant offense when it came to creativity and making adjustments pre-snap. TE Pat Freiermuth mentioned that Pittsburgh didn’t have any hot routes built in last season while OC Matt Canada stated during the season that the Steelers have always had checks in their system based on the situation.
