Pittsburgh Steelers: Kenny Pickett’s Family Thought He Was Drafted by Saints

PITTSBURGH — Kenny Pickett’s loved ones in attendance at his NFL Draft party didn’t think the Pittsburgh Steelers called. Instead, they thought he was on the phone with the New Orleans Saints. 

The Saints picked 19th, one selection before the Steelers at 20. And like the rest of the country watching from home, those at Pickett’s party saw New Orleans on the clock, and the quarterback on the phone. 

Told by Pitt head coach Pat Narduzzi, those in attendance at Pickett’s draft party were thrown for a whirlwind of emotions a little after 10 p.m.
