Don’t Overanalyze Kenny Pickett’s 2nd Team Reps

Kenny Pickett moved up the ranks Monday, running second team throughout the entire practice after opening camp with the 3’s, jumping Mason Rudolph for the backup spot. On the surface, that sounds encouraging. In reality, it was all coordinated. Not that it’s a bad thing. But Pickett isn’t likely to become the permanent #2 the rest of the way. This is just the flow of camp. With an open roster battle and Pittsburgh needing to find out all they can about their QB room, they’re mixing and matching. Similar to how they’re operating at ILB with Robert Spillane and Devin Bush and CB with Ahkello Witherspoon and Levi Wallace.
