Caleb Williams, USCĬaleb Williams was born to play the quarterback position. The upcoming NFL draft is loaded with arm talent, and the Steelers would be derelict of duty not to consider one of these five players. While I don’t anticipate the black and gold moving on from Pickett after the season due to the loyal nature of the organization, maybe general manager Omar Khan will throw a wrench into things.
No matter how you feel about offensive coordinator Matt Canada, those numbers are a direct reflection of the quarterback. On top of that, the Steelers have scored just one offensive TD or less in 50% of their games this season. No other NFL QB has thrown for that few in as many starts in the last two decades. Pickett has thrown for 13 touchdowns in 22 starts dating back to last season. To say he hasn’t met those expectations is an understatement. Entering his second season, the Steelers had high hopes for 2021 first-round pick and new “face of the franchise” Kenny Pickett.
