KENNY PICKETT


Steelers finish on-the-fly offensive retool with draft picks

The on-the-fly retooling of the Pittsburgh Steelers offense is nearly complete. Outgoing general manager Kevin Colbert ended his 20-plus-year tenure with the organization by investing heavily in offensive skill players in his final draft, with the hope that his still-unnamed successor is well-positioned for the future. Throw them into the mix with the top of the 2021 draft class that featured running back Najee Harris and tight end Pat Freiermuth and it's clear the Steelers have loaded up on young and relatively inexpensive talent (at least in the short-term).

2022 NFL draft: The Detroit Lions knew this was a bad quarterback class

ALLEN PARK -- There was no bigger draft-day surprise than the fall of the quarterbacks in general, and of Malik Willis in particular. Some thought the former Liberty star even had a shot at landing with the Detroit Lions at No. “I thought that they were taken where we thought they should have been taken, at least from our standpoint,” Holmes said. North Carolina’s Sam Howell, once considered a candidate for the Lions at 32 or 34, is considered the best quarterback left on the board. Detroit saw all three quarterbacks at the Senior Bowl -- but if it wasn’t clear before, it certainly is now.

Pickett's path from Pitt to the Steelers a lengthy journey

Kenny Pickett did the math 16 months ago. The University of Pittsburgh quarterback could have entered the 2021 draft and taken his chances, knowing he likely wouldn't have heard his name called until the third day. Pickett even went through the whole Senior Day thing at Heinz Field in November 2020.

Pitt’s Kenny Pickett becomes only known QB to earn pre-draft visit with Detroit Lions

Pitt’s Kenny Pickett has been invited to Allen Park for a pre-draft visit next week, according to NFL Network. Now the right guy is sitting there at the right pick at that position? That’s why some believe the Lions could be in play for a guy like Willis, and perhaps even at No. He’s a smart, experienced, accurate quarterback, and is believed to be the QB prospect who is closest to helping a team right away. The Lions got a long look at Pickett during Senior Bowl week, although from the other sideline.

Ex-Texas QB Casey Thompson embraces fresh start at Nebraska

Nebraska has not officially named its starting quarterback but all indications point to it being Texas transfer Casey Thompson.

Kenny Pickett’s hands measure even smaller than Jared Goff’s, whatever that means. Which is nothing.

We talking about hand size. Which is dumb, because no data has ever shown a link between hand size and quarterback performance. But again, no data has ever established a link between hand size and ball security. There is that Joe Burrow fella after all, who just measured in with the same hand size as Goff -- gasp! It is what it is.”The media is talkin’ about hand size, because they keep on measurin’ hand size.

2022 NFL combine: Detroit Lions staring down crowded group at top of this year’s ho-hum quarterback class

This is the second of an eight-part series previewing the Detroit Lions’ interests heading into the 2022 NFL combine, which kicks off next week. Goff threw 11 touchdowns to only two interceptions through his last five starts. Next year’s quarterback class looks more likely to have an elite talent or two at the top of the board. Goff’s contract situation and strong finish add flexibility for that first season, with any rookie quarterback unlikely to start in 2022. Dustin Crum (Kent State): It’s worth noting that the Lions don’t have a quarterback other than Goff under contract for 2022.

QBs struggle at Senior Bowl, but Lions remain intrigued by Malik Willis’ dual-threat capabilities

Malik Willis also fumbled a snap, and his accuracy was all over the place. But the other part of that book -- that he has a tantalizing dual-threat skill-set -- appears to be on point too. “I think he’s pretty athletic, he’s built better than (I expected). Everyone struggled, and especially on the Lions’ side, which also features Zappe and North Carolina’s Sam Howell. “It’s been really cool (working with Lions coaches),” Willis said.

NFL mock draft roundup: Aidan Hutchinson vs. Kayvon Thibodeaux at Pick 2; QBs popular with second selection

The Lions are locked into no worse than a top-two pick, looking very likely to pick second behind the Jacksonville Jaguars. Indy is fighting for its postseason lives while the Jaguars are fresh off a 40-point loss to the Patriots, so yeah, it’s looking like the Lions will pick second. It’s worth noting Detroit’s second first-round selection via the Matthew Stafford trade to Los Angeles is currently projected at Pick 30. That’s the second consecutive season he’s played only seven weeks. “But despite the average 2021 season, Howell is well-liked by teams for the same reasons they liked him preseason.

Pittsburgh QB Nick Patti could bring ‘element of surprise’ against Michigan State

The Pittsburgh redshirt junior quarterback is slated to start in Thursday’s Peach Bowl against Michigan State in Atlanta after Kenny Pickett opted out of the game to prepare for the NFL draft. “He’s got some time in the games this year too and he throws a good ball and he’s got a strong arm,” Michigan State defensive coordinator Scottie Hazelton said. “I definitely had the chance to learn behind Kenny a lot, learned myself a lot in practice,” Patti said. Offensive coordinator Mark Whipple left for the same job at Nebraska earlier this month and tight ends coach Tim Salem will take over the role against Michigan State with faith in his starting quarterback. “That was a big benefit because going from the 2s to the 1s, it’s definitely a speed change,” Patti said.

NCAA bans ‘fake slide’ after Pitt QB Kenny Pickett’s run in ACC Championship

The NCAA is cracking down on fake slides from quarterbacks before it becomes a trend.
