Kenny Pickett Slides in Latest Mock Draft

The Pitt Panthers star is one of two quarterbacks taken in the first round.

Pitt Panthers quarterback Kenny Pickett stays in Pittsburgh, being selected 20th overall by the Steelers in NFL Draft Bible's latest mock draft. 

Pickett is the second quarterback taken behind Liberty's Malik Willis, who's selected 12th to the Washington Commanders. And despite some hype about quarterbacks during the NFL Combine, they are the only two passes taken in the first round. 

"No NFL team is more familiar with Pickett than the Steelers, who share a facility with the Panthers in Pittsburgh and are well aware of his high-level mental processing abilities," Ric Serritella writes. 

The Steelers said they'll bring four quarterbacks into training camp, which would likely include a rookie. Pickett spoke during the NFL Combine about his relationship with Mike Tomlin. 

"He would always come over and hang out with us for a little bit in the summer," Pickett said. "I remember as a freshman, the first time it happened, watching Antonio Brown and Ben [Roethlisberger] out there, and he would come sit down and hangout, and I wouldn't leave the bench until he did."
