Ryan Clark Not Ruling Out Steelers Drafting Quarterback In 2023

The Pittsburgh Steelers are in uncharted territory at the quarterback position. After 18 years of Ben Roethlisberger taking the helm for the team at quarterback with Hall of Fame caliber play, the team is now starting rookie Kenny Pickett at quarterback, whom they drafted in the first round in the offseason after Roethlisberger’s retirement. With 2 touchdowns and 8 interceptions, Pickett has shown his fair share of struggles and growing pains. As such, former Steelers’ safety and current ESPN analyst Ryan Clark stated his skepticism on whether they should commit to Pickett long-term.

“You never know where they might be in this upcoming draft, and this is going to be a quarterback-rich draft in which the last one wasn’t,” Clark said on ESPN’s NFL Live on Wednesday.
