Kenny Pickett’s first drive as a Pittsburgh Steeler quarterback took place in the third quarter on Saturday against the Seattle Seahawks.
Consider it an incredible success.
The No. 1 pick out of Pitt heard cheers of “Kenny! Kenny! Kenny” as he went 5-for-5 for 33 yards and a 3-yard TD pass to Jaylen Warren.
The play happened in the third quarter but by the rollicking crowd, you would have thought a playoff spot was at stake or it was the postseason.
And to add the perfect flourish, Pickett found Connor Heyward for a 2-point conversion to give the Steelers a 25-17 lead.
First preseason drive, first preseason TD for @kennypickett10. 🙌

Ben Who?
Pickett wears gloves on both hands. And despite the game being in August, Pickett wears them year-round … on the field, we trust.
