Three other quarterbacks who were drafted in the first round since 1970 and 19 members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame have walked the paths and trails at Saint Vincent College, just like Kenny Pickett got to do on Tuesday when the Steelers reported for the opening day of training camp.
Pickett, the team’s No. 1 draft choice, will get to experience another level of an NFL training camp on Wednesday when he will practice in front of a hometown crowd that is as deliriously excited to see the former Pitt quarterback as they are having the Steelers back in Latrobe for the first time in three years.
“It’s a legendary place,” Pickett said after arriving at Saint Vincent College. “A lot of legends and greats have come through here. It’s pretty incredible I walk the same path these guys did. We’re all chasing greatness together.”
