Steelers QB Mike Sullivan Praises Kenny Pickett’s Work Ethic: “I Gotta Kick Him Out Of The Room”

Steelers.com’s Missi Matthews sat down with Pittsburgh Steelers QB coach Mike Sullivan to talk about the progression of Pittsburgh’s four quarterbacks on the roster. Sullivan specifically praised the work ethic of rookie first-round pick Kenny Pickett.

“Kenny Pickett, coming in, is working his tail off. I mean, I gotta kick him out of the room. I mean, he’s always in there putting in extra effort and picking things up,” Sullivan said.

If Pickett wants to win the starting job, he’ll have to show it with his work ethic. Sullivan talked about how Mitch Trubisky has played in four different systems so adapting to a new one is a little bit easier, while Mason Rudolph has experience from already being in Pittsburgh.
