Following in the footsteps of a legend within team sports, the comparisons are always going to be there.
Fortunately for second-year Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett, the comparisons to future Hall of Fame quarterback Ben Roethlisberger are starting to carry more and more weight and look like they might be legitimate overall.
Former Steelers backup quarterback and current preseason color analyst Charlie Batch certainly sees the comparisons between the two. Appearing on 93.7 The Fan’s morning show with co-hosts Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson, Batch stated that Pickett’s growth throughout the offseason and into training camp and the preseason reminds him quite a bit of Roethlisberger, a guy that Batch sat behind and worked with for many years with the Steelers.
