The importance of the quarterback position can’t be overstated. It’s exactly why the primary focus for the Pittsburgh Steelers this offseason has been on their second-year slinger, Kenny Pickett. His growth and development will determine how far this team can go, not just now but for the foreseeable future.
If they hit on Pickett, then they can look forward to a decade or more of steady success with the status of perennial contender. He’s still got so much to prove, but virtually everything this offseason has pointed in a positive direction.
“You’ve seen his growth every day, the ownership he’s taking, the command he has”, assistant general manager Andy Weidl said of his young quarterback yesterday, via the team’s website, highlighting one physical quality in particular.
