Kenny Pickett: ‘Grateful’ Eagles Showed Him ‘How It’s Supposed To Be Done’

After Ben Roethlisberger retired following the 2021 season, the Pittsburgh Steelers wasted little time trying find their next franchise quarterback. The first real stab they took was drafting Kenny Pickett with the 20th overall pick in 2022. Things did not work out, to say the least.

Pickett is now a member of the Browns, but he spent the 2024 season backing up Jalen Hurts for the Eagles. Speaking to the media at Browns Organized Team Activities (OTAs) on Wednesday, Pickett reflected on his time in Philadelphia.

“I’m extremely grateful for my time in Philly,” Pickett said via Browns beat writer Scott Petrak on X.
