Thanks to his strong play throughout training camp and through two preseason games for the Pittsburgh Steelers, the calls are getting louder and louder for rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett to be named the Steelers’ starting quarterback right away, over the likes of veteran Mitch Trubisky and veteran Mason Rudolph.
According to Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin and offensive coordinator Matt Canada, the competition remains an open one entering the final week of the preseason in the matchup with the Detroit Lions at Acrisure Stadium. While Canada stated that Rudolph remains in the mix for the starting job, the general consensus is that it will come down to Trubisky and Pickett, whom the Steelers drafted at No.
