No matter how you slice it, QB Kenny Pickett is one of the most consequential Steelers draft picks in decades. Any time you draft a quarterback in the first round, it’s a massive, massive deal. When they drafted Ben Roethlisberger in 2004, it proved wildly successful.
Pickett in the first round in 2022? Not so much. In fact, he is already on his third team going into 2025. Ostensibly, he will have a chance to compete to start after sitting on the bench in Philadelphia last year. And if he does, he could play against the Steelers—not one, but twice.
