According to one Steelers insider down in Mobile, Alabama for the Reese's Senior Bowl, if Kenny Pickett is available the Steelers will take him at number 20 in the NFL Draft.
DK Pittsburgh Sports reporter Dale Lolley said on Thursday that Pickett has been "the star" and the player that everyone wants to talk to.
"I've been told if he's available at pick 20, the Steelers will take him," said Lolley.
Pickett is considered to be a first round pick, the question is where he will fall on the draft board.
Another quarterback that has reportedly been getting attention from the Steelers is Liberty quarterback Malik Willis.
Willis, A transfer from Auburn where he only threw 14 passes in two years, Willis threw for 2,250 yards as a junior completing 64.2% of his passes for 20 touchdowns and six interceptions. This past year, he threw for 2,857 yards completing 61.1% for 27 touchdowns and 12 interceptions.
Willis called Mike Tomlin a "cool dude."
While the Steelers may have been paying more attention to Willis during the Senior Bowl, over Pickett, there's a good reason. Pickett practiced and played at the same facilities and field the Steelers use.
