Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett was on 93.7 The Fan on Wednesday and talked about his development and the upcoming season. They also asked Pickett about his goals, and he answered the question exactly how you want your franchise quarterback to answer.
“The Super Bowl,” Pickett said. “That’s it.”
Pickett was astute in pointing out that if you win a championship, the guys on the team likely hit their individual goals along the way, so ultimately the only thing that should matter is winning a championship. Do that and the individual accolades will naturally follow.
Pickett took over the starting job at halftime of the Jets game in Week 4 last season and never looked back. The numbers he put up weren’t great, especially early on. But over the final eight games of the season, Pickett looked like a franchise quarterback. He took a team that no one thought had a chance and brought them to the very cusp of the playoffs. Now Pickett has his eyes on a bigger prize for the Steelers, and he understands that if it happens, the individual numbers will come.
