From <a href=”https://twitter.com/gmfb?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>@GMFB</a>: With Ben Roethlisberger playing his last game, the <a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/Steelers?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>#Steelers</a> shift focus to what’s next at the QB position. <a href=”https://t.co/4kN7edfYzr”>pic.twitter.com/4kN7edfYzr</a>
“Kenny Pickett’s a name to watch,” Rapoport said Monday on Good Morning Football. “He goes to Pitt, they share a facility with the Steelers, they’ve done a lot of homework on him, it’s easy to have those conversations, they’ve seen him in person. Not saying that’s gonna be the guy, but there’s a lot to like between those two parties.”
Roethlisberger, 39, hasn’t officially announced his retirement, but he and others indicated Sunday’s 42-21 playoff loss to the Kansas City Chiefs was his last game.
“As we move from one chapter to the next, it’s going to be different, but it’s going to be fun,” he said after the game.
