Pittsburgh Steelers veteran Cam Heyward expressed confidence in the abilities of quarterback Kenny Pickett as he enters his second year with the team, especially following the additions of wide receiver Allen Robinson, tackle Broderick Jones, and guard Isaac Seumalo this offseason.
During his rookie year, Pickett quickly ascended from his role behind Mitchell Trubisky in the Steelers' quarterback room to assume the starting position by Week 5. He showcased a mixed performance, completing 63% of his passes for an average of 6.2 yards per attempt. He threw seven touchdowns but also struggled with nine interceptions.
However, as the season progressed, the young QB demonstrated improved consistency and displayed glimpses of his playmaking potential in clutch moments.
