Kenny Pickett’s rookie season with the Pittsburgh Steelers was marked by ups and downs, but a shocking new revelation has come to light that explains why the young quarterback really struggled.
According to sources close to the team, Pickett was playing with a secret injury that severely impacted his performance on the field.
“Pickett was dealing with a nagging shoulder issue that he suffered in training camp,” a source revealed. “He tried to play through it, but it really limited his ability to make throws and perform at a high level.”
But that’s not all – the source also claims that the Steelers’ coaching staff knew about the injury, but chose not to disclose it publicly.
“The team didn’t want to make excuses for Pickett’s struggles, so they kept the injury under wraps,” the source said. “But it’s clear that it had a big impact on his rookie season.”
Steelers fans, are you surprised by this revelation? Do you think the team should have been more upfront about Pickett’s injury?
The news raises questions about the Steelers’ handling of Pickett’s injury and whether it will have long-term effects on his career. One thing is certain, however: Kenny Pickett is working hard to bounce back from a tough rookie season and prove himself as a top-tier quarterback in the NFL.
