Many are assuming that Russell Wilson will easily win the starting quarterback job for the Pittsburgh Steelers over Kenny Pickett, but should it be a foregone conclusion? One line of thinking is that Wilson wouldn’t have signed with the team if he didn’t have a guaranteed spot as the starter, but on the other hand the Steelers spent much of the last few months expressing faith in Pickett.
ESPN’s Damien Woody thinks Wilson will win the job, but he does have some reservations over the nature of the competition.
“I will say this, if this thing is close, it’s gonna go to Kenny Pickett because the Pittsburgh Steelers as an organization, they’re not going to give up on their first round pick,” Woody said on Thursday morning’s episode of Get Up.
