Houshmandzadeh, Gottlieb Discuss Pickett’s Place In AFC North Quarterback Hierarchy

While Kenny Pickett’s improvement down the stretch last season has gained him believers around the NFL, he faces no easy task moving his way up the ladder in the AFC. Throughout the conference, and especially in the division, the quality of quarterback play is the highest we’ve seen in a while. However, Pickett could be closer to moving up that ladder than some may think.
