Kenny Pickett has yet to start an NFL game but he’s already getting high praise from his teammates. Zach Gentry told Mike Prisuta via iHeartRadio Pittsburgh earlier today that “there’s no reason to believe” that Pickett won’t be a special quarterback.
“All the first-round quarterbacks that have been taken in the last 20 years, they’re either doing well or they’re kind of fizzled off. So you always have that concern when you draft a quarterback in the first round, a young guy. But he’s displayed nothing but great characteristics on and off the field. There’s no reason to believe he won’t be special,” Gentry said.
