Pitt in the Pros
Twitter Reaction To Kenny Pickett’s Spectacular NFL Debut
The atmosphere tonight in the second half of the Pittsburgh Steelers/Seattle Seahawks game wasn’t like most NFL preseason games.
In fact, it was better than some regular season games and that’s because of the anticipation of the hometown crowd watching former Pitt great Kenny Pickett making his debut with the Steelers.
And to no surprise, Pickett didn’t disappoint and was near perfect in leading the Steelers to a 32-25. With the score tied at 25, Pickett connected with Tyler Vaughns for a 24-yard touchdown to give the Steelers the win.
In his NFL debut, Pickett was 13-15 for 95 yards and 2 touchdown passes. No. 8 also connected on a 2-point conversion pass and rushed 3 times for 16 yards.
Although all three quarterbacks played well, everyone is talking about Pickett.
Can’t remember the last time I watched an entire Steelers preseason game, but that was a blast. Thanks Kenny P! #HereWeGo

And the haters said Kenny Pickett’s hands were too small. This is why your No. 1 evaluating tool should be actual football: How does a guy play when it matters? Pickett is a baller. #Steelers
