The Steelers run a pro-style offense that blends traditional NFL concepts with modern RPOs and play-action, focusing on efficiency and ball security.
He can be a Year 1 starter, tasked with managing games, protecting the football, and developing into a consistent, long-term franchise anchor.
A purely spread-option or run-heavy offense where his pocket presence and intermediate accuracy would be underutilized.
Pickett's pro-style background, decision-making, and athletic ability make him a good fit for a balanced NFL offense.
Selected #20 overall in Round 1 of the 2022 NFL Draft by Pittsburgh Steelers out of Pittsburgh.
