Blunt Message About Kenny Pickett

During Saturday's preseason action, The Volume Sports founder tweeted

OK, looked great Mitch. Kenny walks over to Pickett already."

Piquet was dazzled in his presidential debut both statistically and from a comfort standpoint.

Despite the backup in the second half, the Steelers first-round pick looked sharp.

As did Trubisky for that matter. Pickett's performance earned him the first-

Allowed to add team reps and a boost on the depth chart,

With one minute remaining in the first quarter, Trubisky scored 49 yards.

And have completed 6 out of 3 passes for the 10-yard melee.

But there's still nothing on the board for Pittsburgh.

We'll see if Pickett gets a call when the clock is reset for another.
