Many have famous the improved play of second-year Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett this preseason, together with his head coach Mike Tomlin.
The University of Pittsburgh alum has made noticeable enchancment as a pocket passer and appeared rather more comfortable working the Steelers offense than he did in the course of the 2022 preseason. Following Thursday’s 24-0 preseason win over the Atlanta Falcons, Tomlin informed reporters that the biggest distinction in Pickett from final 12 months has nothing to do with X’s and O’s.
“The leadership things, the communication things, the bringing-people-together things; that is significant,” Tomlin said. “It’s not play related, but it is. He is the catalyst for that unit, he controls the pace and the tenor of that unit, and I think if he’s comfortable that unit is comfortable — I think that’s been the biggest difference.”
Pickett has appeared spectacular in all three of Pittsburgh’s preseason contests, finishing 86 p.c of his passes (13 of 15) for 199 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions with an ideal 158.3 passer score, per Pro Football Focus.
