The best play Kenny Pickett made in his debut last Sunday was his completion to TE Pat Freiermuth, a dart down the right seam to set up Pickett’s second rushing touchdown of the day. But it wasn’t the mere throw that was impressive. Pickett stood tall in the pocket, felt star DT Quinnen Williams rush in free, and still delivered a great throw. For the NFL world, the first “wow” moment of Pickett’s career. For Mike Tomlin, it was a play he had seen before.
Sitting down with Bob Pompeani for the latest The Mike Tomlin Show, Tomlin spoke about the play Pickett made and how it reminded him of one he made earlier in the summer.
