Hailed as the most pro-ready quarterback in this year’s draft class, Steelers’ rookie Kenny Pickett seems like an overwhelming favorite to start the 2022 season under center for the team, barring a miraculous training camp and preseason by free-agent acquisition Mitch Trubisky. The job certainly won’t be handed to him, as Head Coach Mike Tomlin has been on-record saying as much. However, earlier today he spoke on his comfort level working the two-minute offense, something the team has put an emphasis on lately as OTA’s press on.
And the man Pickett mentioned by name and gave credit to for his vast experience running this offense, is one who’s already been employed by the team previously, as the QB Coach when Ben Roethlisberger was a rookie, Mark Whipple.
