Bill Simmons: Kenny Pickett Is Becoming The Next Eli Manning

Kenny Pickett has had an interesting start to his NFL career. On the negative side, he’s only thrown for 12 touchdown passes over 17 starts, and has failed to help his offense put substantial points on the board in quite a few of those contests.

However, Pickett has already led five game-winning drives as well as four fourth-quarter comebacks in his young career. He’s also led the Steelers to a respectable 10-7 record over his starts. What’s most promising of all is the command Pickett seems to have over the locker room, something that has doomed many a young quarterback before.
