Steelers Need To Look At A Former Pitt Teammate Of Kenny Pickett Not Named Jordan Addison
Philip G. Pavely-USA TODAY Sports

It is mock draft season for the Pittsburgh Steelers fan base and mostly all others throughout the NFL currently. All but four teams have nothing to play for and in the next few months, speculations will swarm surrounding which players are the right fits in specific organizations. Pittsburgh has needs all over the field and after a 7-2 finish to the season and a relatively easy schedule in 2023, as far as the eye tests go, the draft could make a huge difference right away. It is anybody's guess which direction general manager, Omar Khan and the franchise will go early on come April.

The Steelers And GM Omar Khan Might Have The Perfect Trade Partner In The 2023 NFL Draft's First Round

Many have speculated on whether the team will go after a former teammate of quarterback, Kenny Pickett. Wide receiver, Jordan Addison played with Pickett at the University of Pittsburgh and the connection between Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase for the Cincinnati Bengals has been so successful that a reunion for the Steelers could spark a dangerous connection.

While the band getting back together could relieve the challenge of building a rapport, wide receiver is not at the top of the list for the Steelers in terms of needs. They could absolutely address the position late in the draft, but another former Panther could be available at #17 or at the first pick in the second round (#32).
