Steelers Have 'Full Faith' in QB Kenny Pickett Despite Struggles, GM Omar Khan Says

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett struggled during the 2023 campaign, but the franchise appears to have no intention of replacing him ahead of the 2024 season.

"I have full faith in Kenny," Steelers general manager Omar Khan said at the NFL scouting combine Thursday, per ESPN's Brooke Pryor. "He's shown us some good things, and obviously there were some issues with the offense.

"I'm excited about the impact that [new offensive coordinator] Arthur Smith's going to have on him. Arthur's very optimistic about Kenny and they communicated, and like I said, we will have some strong competition there and we'll see where it goes.
