The Pittsburgh Panthers may not consistently field the hottest team in their conference, but they still manage to churn out NFL-worthy talent with some regularity. The Steelers picked up one just last year in quarterback Kenny Pickett, whom they drafted with their first-round selection.
And he wouldn’t mind having a former teammate in the building. According to Steelers general manager Omar Khan, Pickett occasionally offers his input regarding Pitt players who are currently coming out of college. “I’m not gonna tell you we haven’t picked his brain a little bit”, he said at the podium during the NFL Scouting Combine earlier this week.
