While the Pittsburgh Steelers are coming off a brutal loss to the New York Jets to drop to 1-3, one thing Steelers Nation is smiling about is first-round pick Kenny Pickett getting his first nod at the starting quarterback job. Pickett will start for the team on the road in their Week 5 outing against the Buffalo Bills. As he prepares for his first start, the rookie quarterback was asked about his teammates’ reactions to being named the starter in a Wednesday press conference after practice.
“Everyone treats everyone with a lot of respect here,” Pickett said when asked about his teammates’ reactions to him being named the starter.
