Steelers' Kenny Pickett Predicted to Win 2022 NFL Offensive ROY by NFL Execs

Kenny Pickett wasn't the starting quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 1, but NFL executives still think he'll be named the offensive rookies of the year.

Even if Pickett starts a few games, the spotlight will be on him and he has good weapons around him. The offensive line needed to hold up.

The voting for the offensive rookies of the year was complicated because there isn't a clear-cut offensive player here.

Running backs Dameon Pierce and Kenneth Walker III received votes.

Trubisky will be the starting quarterback for the first week of the season. The coach said the team is comfortable with what the veteran has shown.

He was listed as the team's backup quarterback due to his growth and development.

Trubisky was the favorite to win the starting job when training camp began. The quarterback competition was intriguing this summer.

Through the first three preseason games, the first-round pick out of Pitt completed 29 of 36 attempts for 261 yards, three touchdown and no turnovers.

They're making it hard for us. They're forcing us to do it because they're making the right plays. The timing has been good and the accuracy has been great.

It wouldn't be a surprise to see Pickett take over if Trubisky fails. One of the main questions will be if he can win the offensive rookies of the year in time.

Justin Herbert was the last quarterback to win the ORoY. Three quarterbacks have won the award in the last ten years.
