‘He Knows How To Rally Guys’: Kenny Pickett Appreciative Of Mike Tomlin’s Encouraging Words In Rookie Season

It wasn’t always pretty for Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett during his rookie season in 2022.

Prior to the Week Nine bye week, Pickett had serious struggles, turning the ball over at a bit of an alarming pace.

That culminated in two fourth-quarter interceptions on the road against the Miami Dolphins, including one to Noah Igbinoghene that gave the Dolphins the win in the Week Seven matchup on Sunday Night Football.

After the game, Pickett was rather down with the loss and his failures late in the game. But head coach Mike Tomlin was right there for the young quarterback, offering words of encouragement after the disappointing loss.
