On ESPN’s NFL Live today, analyst Marcus Spears spoke highly of rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett and said he believes Pickett will eventually pass Mitch Trubisky as Pittsburgh’s starter.
“I still think Trubisky has a hold on the job, but obviously, it’s a place setter for Kenny Pickett,” Spears said. “Mike Tomlin is about winning. This contract and what Mitch Trubisky was given guaranteed is not in any way going to sway his decision on who their starting quarterback will be if he feels like Kenny Pickett is the guy that’s going to continue to push this team forward and move them in the direction they want to go.
