Ahead of his keynote speech for the 2023 Pitt football kickoff luncheon, former Pitt safety and current ESPN NFL analyst Louis Riddick was asked his thoughts on Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett. Riddick, who has been high on the Steelers’ chances in 2023 throughout the offseason, thinks that Pickett is going to quiet the doubters this year in his second NFL season.
“Sky’s the limit. But Kenny’s doing exactly what you expect Kenny to do. Talk about football character, personal character. Is there a better person than Kenny Pickett? You tell me,” Riddick said said via Amanda Godsey on YouTube He will advance cerebrally, mentally, because that’s what happens from year one to year two when you’re able to back off, kind of break down your game, break down the opponent’s game, and kind of understand how you fit into your own offense and how you can get better.
