PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers open 2023 NFL training camp Wednesday at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. Here’s a closer look at a few storylines:
Biggest question: Can Kenny Pickett pick up where he left off at the end of the 2022 season?
Pickett is primed for the Year 2 jump after finishing the season with five touchdown passes to one interception over his final eight games. It’s hard to measure improvement in a camp setting, but things like scoring in Mike Tomlin’s signature "7 shots" drill -- a period that simulates two-point conversions -- and launching (and completing) more deep shots in team periods are good barometers of Pickett and the offense’s evolution.
