Mitchell Trubisky seems to have outraced both Mason Rudolph and rookie, Kenny Pickett to be named as the Pittsburgh Steelers’ #1 Quarterback. The team revealed their official Week 1 depth charts which shows the same. However, head coach Mike Tomlin is due to give an official word upon the same.
While many expected rookie Kenny Pickett to deliver stiff competition to the former Buffalo Bills QB for the numero uno spot, it seems like the 28-year-old has the edge-of-experience after all. Especially after knowing that the Steelers signed him on a two-year $14 Million deal before they drafted the spoken of rookie, Trubisky might start the proceedings against Cincinnati Bengals.
With Mike Tomlin’s side looking to transform a new chapter – as the post-Ben Roethlisberger era, it seems like the Head Coach has vouched for experience hands to cement a good start in the 2022-23 campaign.
NFL Twitter roasts rookie as Mitchell Trubisky stands as #1 Quarterback for Steelers
The Bears picked Mitchell Trubisky in the 2017 NFL Draft, in the very first round in 2017. After the hype he received, this 28-year-old quarterback performed on an exemplary level eventually becoming the Pro Bowl alternate in 2018 and even securing the 2021 NVP Award.
Trubisky direly needs reviving his career after the lackluster stint he had in Chicago. Given that Pinkett was a four-year started for Panthers, Tomlin had always an up-close-and-personal trajectory of his play. It seems right to state that Kenny could not outrace a washed up-QB veteran in the initial bid to start the 2022-23 season. However, this gave ample chance to NFL Twitter to roast the young Kenny Pickett for being snubbed by the Steelers as their first choice. Look at some of the most interesting below-
That being said, everyone would know the Steelers’ are looking for Roethlisberger’s successor. If Trubisky were to revive his career, this could be the best opportunity for him to rise from the ashes. Will we witness a healthy competition between two of the most perplexed QB’s in Pittsburgh? Remains to be seen as the curtain rises on Sundays for Steelers against the rigid Cincinnati Bengals.
