A few days into his first professional training camp with the Pittsburgh Steelers at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, rookie first-round draft pick Kenny Pickett looked rather shaky overall, which wasn’t fully unexpected.
Despite being a mostly pro-ready quarterback that topped the charts in the 2022 NFL Draft, Pickett came out of the gates rather slowly in Latrobe while working with the third-team offenses. He looked timid at times, held the ball too long in others, and generally looked a bit overwhelmed overall, which was understandable.
Now though, a full week into camp and having a better grasp on the playbook and more rapport with teammates, Pickett is starting to show some of the traits that made him the first quarterback off the board in the 2022 NFL Draft.
