Pittsburgh held its minicamp this past weekend for rookie draft picks, undrafted free agents and a handful of try-out candidates. Not much can be gleaned from what was essentially a football tutorial is shorts. Still, it was the first opportunity to see top selection Kenny Pickett as a member of the Steelers. By all accounts, the young quarterback afforded himself well.
Fellow rookie Connor Heyward lauded Pickett’s demeanor, saying “He had everybody on the same page, and his presence in the huddle was really good.” Pickett talked about feeling comfortable with an offense that retained some similarities to the one coordinator Matt Canada ran at Pitt when he recruited Pickett there in 2016.
