LATROBE, Pa. — For most players on the Steelers offense, training camp has been rocky at best. That includes starting quarterback Kenny Pickett, who has moments where he pops, but others where there are some serious questions in his game. Thursday may have been his worst practice of camp. But Friday, he came out with a response and had maybe his best day of training camp thus far.
The offense looked like a well-oiled machine. It was the best they have looked all of training camp. The receivers and quarterbacks were in sync and the rushing game was working. But none of it really comes together without the starting quarterback coming out and making plays.

Pickett threw the ball at a high level to all three levels of the football field. I still maintain that he looks far more comfortable this year, as he should.
