Though just a rookie, Kenny Pickett has already commanded the respect and admiration of veterans in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ locker room. Benny Snell went from third-string afterthought to center stage Monday night, leading the Steelers in rushing while notching the game-winning touchdown in part thanks to a playcall Pickett suggested to coaches. And speaking to reporters Thursday, Snell said he’d go to bad for Pickett every time.
“Anytime I’m in there with Kenny, I’m just willing to go all out for him,” he said via Steelers.com.
It’s a bond Pickett helped create back in the summer.
