Quarterback Kenny Pickett's growth heading into his second season has been a topic of conversation throughout the Steelers offseason.
Defensive lineman Larry Ogunjobi recently said that he's seen "true growth" in Pickett's confidence and demeanor since the end of his rookie year and those traits have also stood out to those who were not members of the team last year.

"Coming in seeing Kenny now going into his second season, the command that he has for a second-year player is awesome," Robinson said.
