‘He’s An Aggressive Guy:’ Canada On Pickett’s Mentality

If you weren’t sure what kind of mentality Kenny Pickett would bring to the NFL, you found out one pass into his professional career. A deep shot downfield for WR Chase Claypool that unfortunately was picked off but an aggressive shot for a big play on 1st and 10 for a first career dropback.

Speaking to reporters Thursday, OC Matt Canada said that moment reflected Pickett’s general mindset.

“He’s an aggressive guy,” Canada said via a team transcript. “He’s an aggressive guy.”

Pickett’s aggression has shown as he’s gotten more reps. His first week of training camp was anything but.
