Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.

The Pittsburgh Steelers showed that Kenny Pickett was their QB1 of the NFL Draft by taking him in the first round. But can Pickett beat out Mitch Trubisky and Mason Rudolph in training camp to be the Steelers' starter? Pickett's biggest challenges of transitioning to the NFL could reveal part of the answer, but questions about whether he can handle the pressure of being the Steelers' starting quarterback can be answered by anyone who's followed Pickett's college career: yes. Also, Damontae Kazee's impact on the Steelers' safety position with Minkah Fitzpatrick and Terrell Edmunds, the Devin Bush deadline for his 5th year option, and why Joe Haden and Tarik Cohen could be free agent targets soon.
