Steelers’ Pickett Didn’t Believe He’d ‘Walk In’ And Be QB1, Is Looking Forward To Competing For Job

While new Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback Kenny Pickett is certainly the future franchise signal caller in the Steel City after being the No. 20 overall selection in the 2022 NFL Draft, the University of Pittsburgh star is already coming in rather humble.

Despite being the big-name addition at the position that the Steelers made in the off-season, along with the signing of Mitch Trubisky, following the retirement of Ben Roethlisberger, Pickett — a Heisman Finalist in 2021 — isn’t coming into his tenure in the black and gold believing he’s going to be the No. 1 quarterback right away.
