Seeing Diontae Johnson and Najee Harris Up Close, Steelers’ QB Kenny Pickett Can Tell Stars Are ‘Different’

The last few seasons at the University of Pittsburgh, new Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback Kenny Pickett was blessed with the opportunity to play with future NFL guys like wide receiver Jordan Addison and tight end Lucas Krull, to name a few.

Now though, in the NFL, Pickett, the No. 20 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, is seeing just what star-level talent looks like up close and personal with the likes of wide receiver Diontae Johnson and running back Najee Harris.

Following his fourth OTA session with the Steelers Tuesday at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex, Pickett spoke glowingly about his two new teammates, calling them “different” in the way they move and compete and play the game of football at a high level overall.
