Sports Illustrated Predicts Kenny Pickett Will Finish Near Top Of NFL In One Key Advanced Metric

Pittsburgh Steelers second-year quarterback Kenny Pickett is notably not a big numbers guy. Pickett prefers to win games and doesn’t care what his numbers look like, as long as the most important thing is showing at the end of the game: his team winning.

Last season as a rookie, Pickett posted modest numbers, throwing for 2,404 yards, seven touchdowns and nine interceptions, adding another 237 yards and three touchdowns on the ground. With improved talent around him on the offensive line and added weapons in wide receiver Allen Robinson II and tight end Darnell Washington to pair with some talented playmakers like Diontae Johnson, George Pickens, Pat Freiermuth and Najee Harris, Pickett should have a bigger year — as far as raw statistics go — in 2023.
