Kenny Pickett taking ownership of Steelers offense in first offseason as starter

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.
