‘Kenny Pickett learned from Ben Roethlisberger while at Pitt’

“At the Pitt Panthers and Pittsburgh Steelers’ shared practice facility, Kenny Pickett learned from one of the best to do it.”



From Stephen Thompson, at SI.com’s ‘Inside the Panthers’:

South New Jersey native Kenny Pickett didn’t grow up a Steelers fan. His allegiance lied on the eastern pole of Pennsylvania with his Philadelphia Eagles and Donovan McNabb. But when he joined the Pitt Panthers to begin his college football career, Pickett took advantage of the proximity to Ben Roethlisberger and the elite Steelers offense.

Pickett said in an appearance on former Steeler Ryan Clark’s podcast The Pivot that he was able to learn how to time routes and develop chemistry with his pass-catchers by watching Roethlisberger work with Antonio Brown, Heath Miller and Le’Veon Bell.

“Those guys were playing at a different level,” Pickett said. “So when I was at Pitt and I was able to see it every day, watch them practice. You can see on the side after workouts and watch the timing, watch the guys before they come out of breaks. Way before I was doing it, I was like ’S***, I got some work to do with my guys before I get to that level.’”

19 years ago today: Big Ben’s NFL Draft Day

April 24, 2004 – With the 11th pick in the 2004 NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers select…


“I was in New York. I had my mom and dad with me, my sister was there and my agent. My college coach at the time and his wife were there. Everyone kind of had their speculations of ‘what number’ and what team. The teams we thought were going to take me didn’t, but it ended up working out perfectly for me.” — Ben, from the video, “Recalling Draft Day”.



Ben arrives at Madison Square Garden that Saturday morning with plenty of supporters in his corner – his family, his agents Leigh Steinberg and Ryan Tollner, and his college coach, Terry Hoeppner and his wife Jane.

At 11:20AM: Ben and four others – Eli Manning, Roy Williams, Robert Gallery, and Kellen Winslow Jr. – are introduced to the crowd.


Green Room waiting –


• 12:25PM: NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue announces that the San Diego Chargers have selected Eli Manning with the No. 1 pick. Eli emerges from stage right and is greeted by unwelcoming chants by the Chargers fans in attendance.


• 12:58PM: NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue announces that the New York Giants have selected NC State quarterback Philip Rivers with the No. 4 pick. Soon thereafter the trade with the Chargers is announced – Eli Manning is headed to New York, Philip Rivers to San Diego. Both fan bases seem pleased with the outcome….as Ben waits for his turn.


• 1:57PM: Pittsburgh is on the clock. “We see Ben Roethlisberger on the phone,” ESPN announces for the television audience. Sure enough, it’s Steelers coach Bill Cowher calling to tell Ben the Steelers are going to select him with the No. 11 pick.


• 2:00PM: NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue announces that Ben is indeed headed for Pittsburgh. Ben arrives on stage and dons a Steelers ballcap and holds up a Steelers jersey.


• 2:01PM: The Steelers fans in the crowd begin to chant, “Ben, Ben, Ben….”


• 2:02PM: Just off stage, Ben does a press conference for television reporters and then disappears from the public room to do a few interviews with the Pittsburgh media.
