Wow can’t believe Kenny was even there at 20.

    It’s hard not to sound racist about it all, because someone will take what you said and spin it in whatever narrative that fits their end goal. Everyone should understand what you said is absolutely true, over the course of history; Black QBs haven’t been as successful as White prototypical pocket passing QBs, even the new type of athletic dual threat QBs haven’t produced like they have been touted… Lamar Jackson hasn’t won a thing yet, The white version in Josh Allen hasn’t won anything yet either… Patrick Mahomes, who is half black, half white, is still a pocket passer with the great ability to be athletic and make plays with his feet when he has to. I was born from an older generation family who would always say such racist nonsense like “black QBs don’t succeed because they aren’t as smart.” Or “There’s nothing going on between their ears.” Donovan McNabb was pretty good, Warren Moon was pretty good too, it’s not true, but there’s a pause for concern on what is missing in the Black vs White QB debate as to why Black QBs haven’t completely taken over the NFL. I could care less, if it’s more exciting to watch, give me 32 Lamar Jackson’s please.

    @mattx never said there weren’t any great black QBs. Just looking at statistics . They look at statistics for literally every thing else under the sun.

    It’s not even about that the fact is why are we taking a qb first round who is definitely going to be available way later in the draft Lmao.

    Terry Breedlove

    @mattx After Haskins died we only had 2 QB’s and needed a 3rd. What happens when Mitch goes down. Mason starts well we saw how that worked out for us already. Now we have our third and he is good enough to start and maybe even earn the #1 spot.

    Justin Rand

    It is because some of these teams are stupid and beyond fixing. Lions and Texans not taking a QB before the Steelers is not shocking at all.

Casual Friday

Man this pick feels good

MARK NETHERCUTT

Kenny Pickett is going to do great things for the Pittsburgh Steelers

Kedrick Winters

Crazy but hey, the steelers know what theyre doing! Lets gooo

defoley5

Well I guess we’re not gonna get on of those welcome to Pittsburgh videos where they pick him up from the airport and drive him through the tunnel

Donna Dressler

Will they still take him to Primanti Brothers? I suppose they do save a little on the city tour. I’m happy for both Kenny Pickett and the Steeler organization. Go Steelers!

Don miller

Very good pick, solid QB with a high ceiling also, as does Malik.
Pittsburgh drafts 2 positions extremely well historically… WR’s and QB’s ….. It’s also worth noting that Mason Rudolph does indeed have all the necessary skills to be outstanding, but he’s been stuck behind Ben, who, imho, overstayed his career in Pa by a year or two…. all time that Mason really could have benefited from.
Win win win scenario with Trubinsky, Rudolph, and Pickett

    Tali Pannell

    Pitt does not have a good QB draft “historically” lmao. the only QBs worth noting are Bradshaw and Roethlisberger. other than that you got Mason Rudolph, Dennis Dixon, and Spence Fischer, Josh Dobbs isnt too bad tho

    Joseph Williams

    @Tali Pannell how many of those were 1st rounders? Most QBs drafted were 3rd round and down and expected to be backups…context with everything

David Liddle

This was a fantastic pick…we now have 3 capable young qb’s who will compete for the job. Drafting a winning qb is extremely difficult…we took the highest rated person at his position which is all you can really do…who got progressively better each year. If Tomlin and Colbert said he was the best of the bunch I believe them… not some guy selling insurance from Pittsburgh who thinks he knows about football.

    Amims

    We have 2 capable QB’s and mason Rudolph

    Susan McAllister

    Mitch and mason Rudolph capable? I pity you

    Sir Humphrey Appleby

    @Susan McAllister – so what position do you play?

    Susan McAllister

    @Sir Humphrey Appleby I’m a woman. I don’t play football

Astro Cola

surprising that another team looking for a qb, but didn’t take one, didn’t trade down to pittsburghs spot. seems like a free trade for them

Donny Bailey

KENNY PICKIT IS A GREAT QB PICK WILL DEFINITELY TAKE PITTSBURGH STEELERS TO THE SUPER BOWL 🏈 GO STEELERS 😎👍🇺🇲

MLee

LOVE the pick! Go Steelers! Good job guys keep it up!

d matt

The first round went EXACTLY how we wanted it to! Let’s go steeler nation!

serapheum

Been hoping we get King Kenny for over 6 months now…and we got him!!!!!!!!!

Keith WOLF Hoskin

I LIKE … I BELIEVE HE’LL BE A GREAT FIT … NNIICCEEE .. LOOKING FORWARD TO HIS FUTURE CAREER AS A STEELER . 👍🏾💯💪🏾

Charles Schaum

As a steeper fan want to see him have a hall of fame career quarterback

Scott Peskowitz

Another great first round selection. Steelers have been on fire with Watt, Bush, Najee and Kenny 🔥

    Ghostmotorfinger

    Now Tomlin and staff have to win with them. I don’t want to see the Bengals dominate this division for the next 4-5 years.

2SS/RS

Let’s go baby I am blown away I love it.

FourOne Two

I guess I’m not really upset about it but I really thought it would be Willis. Oh well what’s done is done. KP here now, let’s go black and gold.

Mike G

I didn’t see this coming i wanted Willis but thats why I’m just a A/C mechanic and they are the guys that make the decisions🤷🏾‍♂️ #GOSTEELERS

The Analyzer

Happy for Kenny living out his dream and getting drafted to the highest level of football but i don’t think this was the best pick for us. Still #SteelersNation
