Pitt quarterback Kenny Pickett was ranked by Pro Football Focus as the No. 3 college football player in the nation for the 2021 season on Monday. The ranking was part of the PFF 101, which ranks the top 101 players at the college level as seen by PFF.
“Pickett is in the conversation for most improved player in all of college football this season,” wrote PFF analyst Anthony Treash. “He was producing more turnover-worthy plays than big-time throws in 2018, 2019 and 2020 while earning PFF grades of 60.6, 75.0 and 69.8 in those three seasons.
