PITTSBURGH — When trying to analyze every move Mike Tomlin makes with his three quarterbacks, including how he utilizes them in the final preseason game on Sunday, always keep this in mind:
Most of what the Steelers have done, and most of what they will continue to do, revolves around getting Kenny Pickett ready to be an NFL starter.
It might not happen anytime soon. It might not happen until next season (though not likely). But make no mistake, it will happen. NFL teams don't use No. 1 picks on a quarterback and have them sit very long, unless Aaron Rodgers is ahead of him.
