Hurts has completed 62 percent of his passes so far this season and his game has improved since Nick Sirianni committed to the running game. On the season, the second-year pro has 11 TD passes and just 4 interceptions, while trailing only Lamar Jackson in rushing at the quarterback position with almost 500 yards, 6 yards per carry, and five touchdowns.
From a size and look standpoint, Pickett is going to make some team think very hard about making Pitt’s all-time leading passer the face of their franchise.
Kenny Pickett has multiple TD passes in every game this season!
That’s 31 TD, 3 INT on the year for @KennyPickett10

This dart to put Pitt up 23-7 is just a sample of why several big named general managers were in attendance on Thursday night.
Pickett’s ugly ending on Thursday night could leave cause for concern.
