Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett is due for an uptick in his stats from his 2022 debut season.
After starting only 12 games last season, Pickett now enters his second NFL season as the clear-cut starter with the potential of becoming the Steelers’ next franchise quarterback.
If he can improve this season by scoring 20 touchdowns, like Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox predicts, he will move closer to that denomination.
Reaching 20 touchdown passes doesn’t seem like a notable accomplishment in today’s pass-driven NFL. However, only 20 signal-callers threw for 20 or more touchdowns in 2022, and one of them (Tom Brady) is now retired.
