Summary

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Nick Farabaugh of SteelersNow.com. The Pittsburgh Steelers have seen Kenny Pickett lead a touchdown drive every time he's been at quarterback in the 2023 preseason. But has that been enough to justify believing he's ready to ascend among the NFL's better quarterbacks? Chris Carter and Nick Farabaugh examine what he's improved on the all-22 film and how the Steelers have seen him grown in his ability to read the field and attack defenses. Also, it's time to explain why Najee Harris will still be the Steelers' starting running back over Jaylen Warren. Warren had a 62-yard touchdown and continues to show he can be an explosive backup running back option. But Harris still has the characteristics of a starter with his ability as a power runner who can make plays in the passing game and carry the ball 20+ times per game, all while wearing down opponents over the course of the game, even when a defense keys in to stop him. Chris Carter and Nick Farabaugh explain more. Finally, what is Nick Herbig doing to be a rookie phenom in training camp and the preseason? The answer is in his dedication to technique that makes him a perfect understudy for T.J. Watt, and could turn into the Steelers' best surprise this season.
