Kenny Pickett Has Experience, But Lacks Physical Traits
3 years agoPittsburgh quarterback Kenny Pickett is the most NFL-ready of this year's quarterback prospects, as he appeared in 52 games (49 starts) over five college seasons and ran professional concepts under former NFL assistant Mark Whipple. "He was the biggest guy, strongest stature -- he just felt like a quarterback. But then your concern is the arm. There's nothing special about it. What's he going to look like when he's getting his ass f---ing blitzed and having to throw off-platform, and he has to win with his arm only? He's mobile enough. He can move, he's not lot like a statue. If you had to have a m-----f----- play right now, it's Pickett, but he doesn't have any goddamn upside," an AFC executive said. Pickett has some speed, but his arm strength is average, and many scouts question his quick decision-making skills.
