The Pittsburgh Steelers are reportedly preparing for an open competition between free-agent signing Mitchell Trubisky and first-round draft pick Kenny Pickett for their starting quarterback job when training camp gets underway.
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported the latest details on the race to replace Ben Roethlisberger, who retired in January, during an appearance Sunday on SportsCenter:
"I'm told the Steelers are playing no favorites. Mitchell Trubisky, I know he is very excited for this battle. I'm told he cannot wait to compete with Kenny Pickett and company. But Pickett in two days at minicamp, I'm told he looked poised, confident, all the things they knew they had in him when they watched him at Pitt in the next-door facility, basically.
