Kenny Pickett is the face of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ franchise, until he’s not. Increasingly, it’s feeling as though the not is going to come a lot sooner than the team would like—a decade or two sooner. 22 starts into his career, he is not looking like a starter. And even he isn’t sure what they need to do to get better.
Asked what was lacking from his game during his post-game press conference yesterday, Pickett cited consistency while crediting the Cleveland Browns. “They’re a great defense. Hat’s off to them first, but we didn’t play, and I didn’t play, nearly as well enough”, he said, via the team’s website.
