Quarterback mobility hasn’t exactly been a staple of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense in recent years. Not that he couldn’t skedaddle a bit in his younger days, but late-stage Ben Roethlisberger had his difficulties getting out of the pocket of his own free will, let alone with an athletic linebacker chasing after him.
The drafting of Kenny Pickett completely changed the dynamics they have to work within that department. While he won’t be mistaken for Lamar Jackson any time soon, the former Pitt standout is more than capable of using his legs either to reset the pocket or to take off if necessary.
