PITTSBURGH — Kenny Pickett watched what Steelers general manager Omar Khan did over the offseason. He saw the millions of dollars the Steelers spent in free agency and draft capital to strengthen the offensive line and to upgrade the receivers and tight ends rooms.
The Steelers are building around their second-year quarterback, and Pickett said there are no more excuses for the offense to struggle as much as it did last season when it finished the 2022 season among the lowest-scoring teams in the NFL.
"We got the guys," Pickett said Tuesday afternoon following the first organized team activity (OTA) of the spring. "We have to go execute. That's football. It's always like that. At some point, it's the players, not plays. We have to step up and make plays."
