Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said Thursday that quarterback Kenny Pickett will be the team’s top quarterback heading into training camp.
“He will,” Tomlin told reporters when asked if Pickett will be quarterback No. 1 next season. “But obviously, there will be competition. There’s always competition in this thing.”
He added: “I’m extremely confident in him. I feel stronger about some of the intangible things than I did obviously when we first started doing business with him because I have evidence of it. He’s highly competitive and professional. He doesn’t run from challenges, he runs to challenges … It is a huge year for him.”
