For two seasons at the University of Pittsburgh, Kenny Pickett and Qadree Ollison were mainstays in the backfield together for the Panthers.
Now, they’re reunited six seasons later, this time in the NFL with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The same facility they once were in together as members of the Panthers.
After the Steelers signed the veteran running back to the practice squad late last week, Ollison gets a chance to return home and reunite with his former college teammate and friend in Pickett.
That reunion is something Pickett is glad to see.
Speaking to reporters Wednesday ahead of the Week One matchup against the San Francisco 49ers, Pickett joked that he and Ollison will need to go and grab a bite to eat and reminisce on the old days, adding that he’s excited to have his infectious personality in the facility, even if he’s on the practice squad.
