In his first official day on the practice field as a Pittsburgh Steeler, new quarterback Kenny Pickett said he felt rather comfortable overall making the shorter walk from the Steelers’ locker room to the practice field, compared to the walk from the Pittsburgh Panthers’ locker room to the far practice field at the South Side Facility.
Pickett was one of a number of players participating in the Steelers’ first official rookie minicamp session Friday and had all eyes on him. Unlike other rookies in the class outside of maybe sixth-round draft pick Connor Hayward, there’s not much of an adjustment for Pickett, being in his adopted hometown of Pittsburgh.
