‘Proud To Be The Captain Of This Offense, This Team:’ Kenny Pickett Embraces Leadership Role

For the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense, all eyes are on QB Kenny Pickett. That point was hammered home when players elected their 2023 team captains. On offense, Pickett is the only player with a ‘C’ on his chest. The lone offensive captain, it’s a responsibility he says he embraces.

Speaking to reporters Wednesday, Pickett talked about the honor.

“I take a lot of pride in it,” he said via the team website. “Something I don’t take lightly. I’m really proud to be the captain of this offense, this team, and the quarterback of this team. I just want to do everything I can to put us in the best position to win.
