As in the seasons since Ben Roethlisberger retired, the Pittsburgh Steelers find themselves in a quarterback quandary. But one thing is certain: Kenny Pickett will regain his role as QB1.
It comes with an asterisk, though. Mike Tomlin said in his season-wrap press conference that there will be a quarterback competition.
“He will be challenged,” he said.
We’re months away from seeing who, besides Pickett, will be in that competition. It’s also unknown how serious Tomlin is about the process. He said there was a competition during Pickett’s rookie season but there never truly was — it was Mitch Trubisky’s job to lose.
Tomlin said Kenny Pickett is the QB, but there will be a competition for the job. "He will be challenged," he said.
