Hey everyone, it’s your boy back again with another deep dive into the gritty world of football. Today, I’m breaking down my journey of tracking Kenny Pickett’s time with the Steelers. Let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride!
It all started last year when I got a hunch that the Steelers were eyeing this young quarterback, Kenny Pickett. I mean, the buzz was there, and I just had to see what this guy was all about. So, I began digging. I watched all his college games, read every article I could find, and even started following those so-called “insider” accounts on Twitter (don’t judge me, we all have our methods).
Then came the 2024 NFL Draft. My heart was pounding like a drum solo as the picks rolled in. And boom! The Steelers snagged Pickett in the third round, the 98th overall pick. I was pumped! I felt like I’d discovered a hidden gem. I even got wind they traded away a fourth-round pick along with giving up two seventh-round picks in the 2025 draft to land him, you need know how much they must have been wanted him.
Fast forward to the season. I kept tabs on every game, every play. I scrutinized Tomlin’s statements about Pickett like they were ancient hieroglyphs. During his end-of-season news conference, it seemed like Tomlin was putting his faith in Pickett as the QB1. I was on the edge of my seat, man. The potential was there, and I was all in.
But here’s where things got interesting. News broke that Pickett wanted out. Yep, you heard that right. He wanted a fresh start. I was stunned, to say the least. I went back to my notes, rewatched interviews, trying to figure out what went wrong. Then I stumbled upon his press conference with the Eagles. He said, “It just felt like it was time.” That hit me hard. It wasn’t just about the game anymore; it was about the person behind the helmet.
So, what did I learn from all this? Well, sometimes the story isn’t just about the stats or the wins. It’s about the journey, the decisions, and the human element behind it all. I’ll admit, I was bummed to see Pickett leave the Steelers, but I’m also curious to see what he does next. It’s like watching your favorite character in a show take an unexpected turn. You’re not sure what’s gonna happen, but you’re definitely along for the ride.
