The preseason performance by the Pittsburgh Steelers’ starting offense against the likes of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Buffalo Bills and Atlanta Falcons was rather impressive.
In five drives, Pittsburgh’s starting offense ran 28 plays, gained an impressive 315 yards and scored five touchdowns, putting together a largely perfect preseason.
Among that starting offense, second-year quarterback Kenny Pickett was outstanding, while backup running back Jaylen Warren and No. 3 tight end Connor Heyward were solid overall.
Knowing how well the offense performed in the preseason, it comes as no surprise that the trio of Pickett, Warren and Heyward were named the highest-graded players in the preseason at their respective positions by Pro Football Focus Monday.
