The two play different positions, but if Pickett slips into the starting role sooner than expected, he may not lose only one game like Roethlisberger did back in 2004, but he could absolutely change the dynamic of the Steelers offense. “After all, Ben Roethlisberger didn’t open his rookie season as the starter, and we know how well that went.” Pickett was part of the group.
