Makes case for starting job Pickett completed six of seven passes for 76 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's preseason win over the Jaguars. Impact Pickett entered the game after Mitch Trubisky but was the more effective of the duo. The rookie first-round pick connected with each of the Steelers' starting receivers as well as tight end Pat Freiermuth for gains of 24, 17, 16 and 11 yards. Pickett also led an effective two-minute drill that ended in a touchdown pass to Benny Snell with 29 seconds left in the first half. Trubisky is still likely to be the starter Week 1 against the Bengals, but Pickett made a strong case for the job with his performance Saturday.
