On Pro Football Talk Live today, Mike Florio and Chris Simms talked about the possibility and viability of the Steelers starting Kenny Pickett Week 1.
“Pickett is checking the boxes of what they were looking for when they drafted him. Guy who has that competitive fire, a guy who acts like he’s been born to do this,” Florio said. “I saw the numbers, the air yards, for the throws between him and Mitch Trubisky and Mason Rudolph, his air yards through two games are by far the lowest of the three quarterbacks. It doesn’t matter. You’re running the offense, you’re distributing the football and you’re creating excitement and that’s undeniable.
