Though new Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback Kenny Pickett has a perceived leg up on the competition entering the offseason with some familiarity from his time at Pittsburgh with the Matt Canada offensive scheme, the rookie quarterback downplayed some of those advantages Friday following his first minicamp session with the Steelers on the South Side.
Speaking with reporters wearing Steelers’ gear for the first time in a practice setting, Pickett stated that there’s still a lot to learn regarding the offensive scheme, and that he’s focusing on learning the system as a whole before even beginning to think about any sort of quarterback competition with free agent signee Mitch Trubisky and veteran quarterback Mason Rudolph.
