The Pittsburgh Steelers currently have just one quarterback under contract for the 2024 season in Kenny Pickett. Even so, the former first-round draft pick will have some sort of competition in his room to beat out by the time training camp gets underway later this summer.
While we wait to see what that summer competition for Pickett will look like, veteran Steelers DT Cameron Heyward made it known during a Wednesday podcast interview that while he does support the team’s third-year quarterback moving forward, he also believes some good competition is needed at that position this offseason.
During his interview on the GoJo and Golic show on the DraftKings Network, Heyward was asked specifically if he thinks there’s a need for veteran competition to brought in to challenge Pickett and if the team still fully backs the former first-round selection.
