Kenny Pickett ‘Wasn’t A Failure, The Steelers Were A Failure,’ Says Terry Bradshaw

The Pittsburgh Steelers are still trying to find a quarterback who can win them a playoff game (hopefully more). They haven’t won a playoff game in almost a decade, since Ben Roethlisberger was under center. And the team’s efforts to replace him have failed so far. And there may not have been a bigger swing-and-a-miss than Kenny Pickett.

In 2022, the Steelers drafted Pickett with the 20th overall pick. He was the local kid, familiar with the field and facility due to his time at the University of Pittsburgh. Then you factor in his explosive 2021 season, when he threw for 4,319 yards and 42 touchdowns, and expectations were sky-high.
