I want to preface this by saying that I hope Kenny Pickett has a wonderful, fulfilling, and lucrative career in the NFL. It’s a lifelong dream for a football player to make it to the highest levels of the sport. We should celebrate players more when they finally reach that glorious destination.
All that said, I don’t understand any of the love behind the former Pitt quarterback. And it has nothing to do with his hand size. Not only do I think Pickett’s overall resume is particularly weak — he definitely seems to be a one-year wonder — he’s also the epitome of a boom or bust prospect, with little signs of a coming boom.
Pickett will probably be drafted early by a team desperate to find the answer at quarterback. I have a hunch that since Malik Willis might be gone earlier, that desperate squad turns out to be the Panthers. As you can imagine, Sam Darnold leaves a lot of worries in the QB room.
