The next generation of the Pittsburgh Steelers was launched in the 2022 offseason with the addition of quarterback Kenny Pickett as the team’s number one draft pick.
It took several games before the Steelers coaching staff acceded to the people’s wishes in giving him the starting role over journeyman Mitch Trubisky. When they did there was no looking back.
The future is now and it’s in the capable hands of Pickett and exciting young talents like WR George Pickens, TE Pat Freiermuth and RB Najee Harris.
Still-in-their-prime players like Diontae Johnson are expected to bounce back this year and we haven’t even mentioned the deep end of the talent pool on the defensive side.
