Pittsburgh Steelers general manager Omar Khan addressed the media at the NFL Scouting Combine on Tuesday and addressed the issue of the backup quarterback position. According to Khan, he loves the way Mitch Trubisky worked with Kenny Pickett and is hopeful he will be the backup in 2023 and be with the team beyond next season.
Trubisky signed with the Steelers on the first day of free agency last offseason and spent most of training camp and the preseason is battle with Pickett for the starting job. Trubisky beat out Pickett as the starter but only lasted until halftime of the team’s fourth game. Trubisky was benched and only returned for a single start in the second half of the season after Pickett suffered a concussion.
