Next up on the Cleveland Browns’ quarterback carousel was Kenny Pickett yesterday, and things…could have gone better for the veteran. In his first practice taking the first reps, he tossed a couple of interceptions, though he finished with a touchdown. The former Steelers first-round pick is in what the team is calling a four-way quarterback competition, which will drag on throughout the offseason. Pickett gets the first 11 on 11 rep. Flacco got it last week.

Will Broderick Jones come into his own at left tackle this season? Broderick Jones is finally where the Steelers drafted him to be, but will he finally play the way they drafted him to play? Going into his third season, he has a lot of ground to cover, especially given his fifth-year option coming up. While he seems to be doing the right things, we’re only in June, so a lot can change.

Jaylen Warren might be the lead dog in the Steelers’ running back room now, but he takes nothing for granted. As he told reporters yesterday, he still has the same approach, trying to earn a spot every year. Even as the Steelers pay him over $5 million to play, he is ready to just do as the coaches tell him. Asked if the Steelers have given him any indications that his role would expand or how they plan to use him this season, Warren flatly said, “No”, via the team’s website.

While Darnell Washington has dropped weight and gained agility, he told reporters yesterday that he isn’t quite done just yet. While he is a tight end, the Steelers have primarily used him as a blocker, almost an extra lineman. Entering his third season, he wants to change that, envisioning a bigger role in the passing game. More than that, though, it’s just a young player growing up and recognizing his job is a profession.

Steelers fans are not welcoming Aaron Rodgers, it seems, and Ross Tucker suspects that’s one reason that he isn’t here. While it’s just one piece of the puzzle, that puzzle casts a picture of everything Rodgers doesn’t like about football. Never one to embrace the offseason process, by neglecting to sign, he is avoiding all forms of direct negativity. “I think it does” factor into why Aaron Rodgers hasn’t signed with the Steelers yet, Tucker said about the fan response.
