Kenny Pickett: Year in Philadelphia showed me 'how it's supposed to be done'
Our Summary
Kenny Pickett, the former Pittsburgh Steelers first-round pick, had a significant year as a backup to Jalen Hurts in Philadelphia, where he earned a Super Bowl ring. Now in a quarterback competition in Cleveland, Pickett credits his Philadelphia experience with preparing him to start again. While his comments could be interpreted as critical of his Pittsburgh experience, they highlight his appreciation for Hurts and the Philly environment. Competing with Joe Flacco, Dillon Gabriel, and Shedeur Sanders, Pickett stresses the camaraderie and learning in the QB room, maintaining a starter's mindset for success. Despite Flacco's familiarity with Kevin Stefanski's system, the competition remains open as Pickett seeks to advance his NFL career.
