Steelers sign Pickett

The Steelers signed rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett, the first-round pick from the University of Pittsburgh. With the signing of Pickett, the Steelers have now signed all of their 2022 draft picks.

Pickett finished his career as Pitt’s all-time leading passer with 12,303 yards, one of the many school records he holds. He was also a finalist for the Heisman Trophy last year.

His senior season was one of his strongest, leading Pitt to an 11-2 record and the school’s first ACC Championship.

Pickett was a fifth-year senior in 2021, deciding to come back for one more year, something that obviously paid off for him.

“I just think the experience of playing games and having starts under my belt, I think that really helps, seeing a lot of different defenses, playing a lot of different levels of competition,” said Pickett. “I think it’s just only going to help me at the next level.”

Pickett has already made an impression on his teammates during minicamp and offseason workouts.
