The Pittsburgh Steelers had themselves a new starting quarterback in the form of 1st round draft pick Kenny Pickett, who took over from the struggling veteran Mitchell Trubisky earlier in the 2022 NFL season.
And while it wasn’t completely smooth sailing, Pickett rebounded nicely in order to lead the Steelers on the verge of a postseason spot. Unfortunately, despite the winning record of 9-8, the Steelers would fall just short of qualifying for the postseason and had to watch from home.
You can bet that Pickett is going to be fully dialed in to get his team back to the postseason later this year, and he’s certainly putting in the work to ensure that he’s nothing short of his best when the team gathers for training camp in preparation for the upcoming campaign.
“I would be here mighty early. And I left mighty late,” Pickett said in an interview with Theresa Varley of Steelers.com “Showing up here when it was dark out and leaving when it’s dark is a little bit depressing. I was taking some vitamin D for sure.”
“I don’t track the hours. I just kind of go through how I need to prepare and then whatever it ends up being, it ends up being. It would be about leaving the building when I felt good about the day’s work, and I felt really confident going into the game.”
Folks, Pickett is fully dialed in, and that’s nothing but good news for the prospects of their success in 2023.
