In his first 22 NFL starts, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett has been far too inconsistent.
At times, Pickett looks like that franchise quarterback the Steelers were aiming for when they selected him 20th overall in the 2022 NFL Draft. But more often than not he’s looked like a backup-level quarterback, missing some open looks, struggling with accuracy, falling apart in the pocket from an awareness standpoint, and seemingly playing a bit scared overall.
Some of the issues might be tied to the offensive scheme he has been in that last year-and-a-half under offensive coordinator Matt Canada, who was fired Tuesday.
