Steelers legend Terry Bradshaw criticizes team's handling of Kenny Pickett

Aaron Rodgers said that signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers was "a decision that was best for my soul." Craig Carton, Danny Parkins, and Mark Schlereth discuss the Steelers signing Rodgers and if it will work out for both parties.

Kenny Pickett’s time as the starting quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers didn’t last long.

The 2022 first-round pick spent two seasons with the Steelers. He was 14-10 as a starter and had 4,474 passing yards, 13 touchdown passes and 13 interceptions in 25 total games.

Pro Football Hall of Famer Terry Bradshaw criticized the Steelers on Monday for not doing enough to put a team around Pickett as the organization is set to transition to a new starting quarterback for the 2025 season in Aaron Rodgers.

"Steelers getting rid of Kenny Pickett," he said last week in a Q&A on the "To The Point Home Services Podcast." "A first-rounder, got rid of him after two years. And they're still looking for a quarterback. They didn't even do anything to build around him."

Bradshaw added that he always believed first-round quarterbacks were going to be successful as long as the right roster is built around them. He cited Baker Mayfield’s success with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Sam Darnold’s success with the Minnesota Vikings before he joined the Seattle Seahawks.
