Kenny Pickett was the only quarterback during the preseason to post a perfect passer rating. He went 13-of-15 passing for 199 yards and two touchdowns while hardly even sniffing a potential interception on any of his throws. He led the entire NFL with 13.3 yards per pass attempt, although there are still several games left to play.
More significant than a perfect passer rating, however, is perfect results. The Steelers scored five touchdowns on the five drives led by Pickett. He converted on third down when he needed to in order to keep drives alive, which was integral to their improvement in the second half of last season, but he also showed they can shorten up their drives with explosive plays.
