‘He Don’t Look Like A Rookie:’ Larry Foote On Kenny Pickett

The Pittsburgh Steelers are facing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a critical Week 6 home matchup. Both sides of the ball have struggled for the Steelers, who are coming off a disparaging 38-3 loss to the Buffalo Bills to drop to 1-4. One thing to look forward to is rookie quarterback and 2022 first round pick Kenny Pickett making his first home start at Acrisure Stadium, and will have an opportunity to prove himself as a capable starter. When asked about Pickett, Buccaneers’ co-defensive coordinator and long-time Steelers’ linebacker Larry Foote had high praise.

“He don’t look like a rookie,” Foote said when asked about the Steelers’ rookie quarterback on Thursday in a press conference on the team’s YouTube channel.
