PITTSBURGH -- The Kenny Pickett era is officially here.
The Pittsburgh Steelers listed their 2022 first-round pick as the starter on the depth chart for Sunday's game at the Buffalo Bills.
Pickett is the first rookie quarterback to start for the team since undrafted free agent Devlin Hodges started in Week 4 of the 2019 season against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Searching for a spark, Mike Tomlin inserted Pickett to replace Mitch Trubisky at halftime of the Steelers' 24-20 loss to the New York Jets.
