Since the declaration of Kenny Pickett for the draft, talks about his hand size have persisted. The new Steelers QB has small hands. Therefore, it is being speculated that he might face some problems adjusting to the NFL since the ball size in college is much smaller. There were little to no issues for him in college, but things might change in NFL.

He has been a regular feature in the Steelers OTAs, and people were there to see him. Former Steelers LB Arthur Moats was present during the OTAs, and he monitored all their quarterbacks. He was very open in commenting about all three of them.

Talking about Pickett, he said, “I think that Kenny has a pretty spiral, when he throws his spiral, he has one of the prettiest spirals out there, but it’s the consistency with it.” Moats further said, “I laugh to myself because I get when people bring up the hand part, because you can tell at times, not that it’s going to affect him where we are all going to be feeling it.”

He added, “But when you are watching him in a drill setting where your throwing 10 passes back-to-back, after I saw that guy throw 10 and I am looking out how their spiral comes out, the pop on their arm and just the consistency with it. Whereas with Kenny, if he threw 10, 7 of them are on the money, but then he’s gonna have three where I’m like, ‘is that because of the hand size?’ ‘It’s kind of floppy,’ ‘is the ball too big for him?’” 

Mitchell Trubisky is currently the leading favorite to start over Kenny Pickett

With the start of the next season, a new era will be upon in Pittsburgh. They’ll have a new quarterback, as their long-time QB Ben Roethlisberger announced his retirement last season. The Steelers have three quarterbacks at their helm; Kenny Pickett, Mason Rudolph, and Mitchell Trubisky.

Mason Rudolph has been with the franchise the longest among them. Kenny, recently drafted, is believed by many to be the starting quarterback for the team in Week 1. In contrast, the current favorite to start for the Steelers in Week 1 will be Mitchell Trubisky.

Arthur Moats also believes the same and claims that he looks like the best among them. The former Bears QB is looking to prove his worth again in the NFL, and this might be his chance. Even though Kenny Pickett might not start the season, we will definitely see him on the field at some point in time.
