Claiming yesterday's depth chart that showed Kenny Pickett as the Steelers' No. 3 quarterback behind Mitch Trubisky and Mason Rudolph came because of a clerical error, Mike Tomlin officially put an end to any more questions regarding who his quarterback pecking order Tuesday at the UPMC-Rooney Sports Complex.
Trubisky, the leader in the clubhouse all along, will be the starter, while Pickett, the team's No. 1 draft pick this year, will be No. 2. Rudolph, the Steelers' backup the past four seasons, will be No. 3.
The Steelers’ head coach had remained non-committal about which of his quarterbacks would replace retired Ben Roethlisberger as the team’s starter after 18 seasons, though all signs – including the initial depth chart released Monday afternoon -- had pointed to Trubisky.
