The Pittsburgh Steelers have preached so far this off-season that most of what it is doing while trying to be a competitive team for the 2023 NFL season is making sure that rookie Kenny Pickett is comfortable. The decision to keep much-maligned offensive coordinator, Matt Canada, for a third season came largely down to his strong working relationship with the first-round pick from the University of Pittsburgh according to Steelers team president , Art Rooney II.

In trying to achieve that goal, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette suggested a name the organization maybe should take a look into:

Maybe this is one the Steelers should explore. Davis Webb is friends with Kenny Pickett from training together in the offseason. Worked with Mitch Trubisky in Buffalo. Considered a special young QB mind in the NFL. When’s the last time the Steelers had someone like that on staff? https://t.co/hVS5j8FbcA

The Steelers have been rumored to be keeping an eye on a couple of potential offensive coaches including Byron Leftwich to add to their staff in case things should go south in year three under Matt Canada.

While his name might have the allure of a former Steelers backup quarterback who won a Super Bowl with the Tampa Buccaneers, as a first-time coach, he might be more willing to take a less senior job. The team already has a veteran quarterbacks coach in Mike Sullivan but why not add a young assistant who only just retired?
