When trying to slot in members of the 2022 NFL Draft class at the quarterback position in ideal landing spots based on overall scheme and fit, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better landing spot for Kenny Pickett than the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Having spent the last five years in Pittsburgh as the starting quarterback for the Pitt Panthers, Pickett is quite familiar overall not only with the city itself, but the Steelers’ facility and personnel overall.
As an athletic quarterback overall that throws well on the run and can create out of structure, Pickett fits in rather nicely into second-year offensive coordinator Matt Canada’s system, which needs a quarterback to be able to utilize his legs some, bringing that added dimension to the offense overall.
