Kenny Pickett, the much-discussed former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback, recently made a significant appearance in his old city as the honorary captain at Pitt's Blue-Gold Spring Game at Acrisure Stadium. His brief tenure with the Steelers ended on a sour note, but he is eager to reconnect with teammates and fans alike. Reports indicate that he is particularly looking forward to the upcoming 2025 season, especially his match against the Steelers.

After a rocky start in Pittsburgh, Pickett's journey took him to the Eagles and subsequently the Browns, where he's looking to regain his footing as a starting quarterback. A dinner planned with former Steelers players Alex Highsmith, Christian Kuntz, and Pat Freiermuth signals his intent to maintain those connections. With excitement bubbling about facing his former team, the anticipation adds an extra layer of intrigue for both him and the Black and Gold faithful.
