The Pittsburgh Steelers traded former first-round pick Kenny Pickett to the Philadelphia Eagles after just two seasons with the team, and Pickett will now look to revive his career as a backup to Jalen Hurts for the Eagles. Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni talked about Pickett today and his excitement for him, while reiterating he’s the backup and will support Jalen Hurts.
“I’m really excited about the things he can do. I’m excited that we have a piece in place there. But his job is to be the backup, and his job is to support Jalen and help him in any way that he can and be ready to play if he needs to play,” Sirianni said at the NFC Coaches Breakfast at the NFL League Meetings, via Brooks Kubena of The Athletic.
