Former Steelers QB Kenny Pickett, now with the Browns, spent nearly his entire time in Pittsburgh during the Canada era. Under Matt Canada, the offense suffered so much that they actually fired a coach mid-season, a first in generations. That’s simply not something the Steelers do, but they felt they had to do it.
Unfortunately for him, he suffered an injury shortly thereafter and never got back on the field. Mason Rudolph stepped in and played well, and Mike Tomlin chose to ride the hot hand. During the offseason, as the Steelers pursued Russell Wilson, Kenny Pickett requested a trade.
