RGIII Cautions Kenny Pickett, ‘You Don’t Have To Be Big Ben’, Suggests Steelers Could Be Bringing Him Along Slowly

While there were a number of teams in the 2022 NFL Draft looking for quarterback help, not many came away satisfied with their options. In fact, only the Pittsburgh Steelers, it seems, were duly impressed with the selection at their feet, as they were the first to take a quarterback, 20th overall, with no others drafted in the first two rounds.

That would be Kenny Pickett, who didn’t have to move far. But he does come into a team looking to replace a future Hall of Famer. And former first-round pick Robert Griffin III believes that’s a mindset that the rookie has to avoid.
