Pittsburgh Steelers owner and president Art Rooney II spoke to a few select reporters Thursday afternoon, talking about several key discussion points involving the retention of OC Matt Canada for another season, the possibility of playing international games, and his positive outlook on how the team finished 7-2 down in the second half of the season, avoiding HC Mike Tomlin’s first losing season while nearly sneaking into the playoff hunt.
Rooney was also asked about QB Kenny Pickett and his progression from the beginning of the season when he came in at halftime in Week 4 against the New York Jets to Pittsburgh’s final game against the Cleveland Browns to close out the 2022 regular season.
