Kenny Pickett Grateful For Preseason Preparation

Kenny Pickett isn’t concerning himself with being the starter come NFL Week 1, although he’s buoyed by a productive preseason.

The rookie Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback is thought to be behind Mitchell Trubisky in the depth chart. 

Trubisky was signed to be the starter and hasn’t done anything to lose his place since. While Kenny Pickett also had an admirable preseason, he may not have done enough to usurp the senior quarterback.

“Still learning a lot of things, getting my first true game plan going into Cincinnati. So, a lot of things I am learning, taking it all in stride and enjoying it.

“All the positives that I built on from minicamp, OTAs, into camp and the preseason games,” Pickett said. “I thought I continued to get better. I just want to build off of that going into the season now.”
