Kenny Pickett Begged for a Competition and Then Signed Up to Hold a Clipboard

And I gotta be honest, this man wears two gloves so the football can’t get away from him. Makes it so much better.

Same week, his college coach Pat Narduzzi gets on the radio and says the Eagles never wanted to trade him. Kenny begged. That’s Narduzzi’s word. Because he wanted to COMPETE and didn’t think he could beat out Jalen Hurts.

So he leaves Pittsburgh the second Russell Wilson shows up. Leaves a Super Bowl team that’s telling him please stay. Goes to Cleveland for a real shot at a job and loses it to Joe Flacco. Then Vegas. Then in March he signs in Carolina… to back up Bryce Young. On purpose.

And you know what all that competing got him? 188 passing yards last season. Six games.

Now I’m not sitting here like we cracked something in Pittsburgh, our starting quarterback is 42 damn years old. But four teams have had him since and not one of them has looked at him and seen a starter.

Steelers get Carolina at Acrisure in Week 16 by the way. One Bryce Young hamstring and he’s walking right back in that building.
