Former Pitt quarterback Kenny Pickett is trying his best to enjoy the NFL draft process as people talk obsessively about the size of his right hand.
With Trevor Lawrence desperately needing protection, who is the best fit for the Jaguars to take at the top of this year's NFL draft?PITTSBURGH — Kenny Pickett spent last fall mounting an unlikely Heisman Trophy campaign while rewriting the Pittsburgh record book and l eading the Panthers to their first Atlantic Coast Conference title.
That includes the length from the tip of Pickett's thumb to the tip of his pinkie on his right . It measured 8 1/2 inches at the NFL combine, relatively small for a quarterback that will be tasked to grip an NFL football that's slightly larger than the one used in college. To have one member of the team brass make the walk across the parking lot from the facility they share with Pitt is not unusual. To have so many — including offensive coordinator Matt Canada, defensive coordinator Teryl Austin and special teams coordinator Danny Smith — is unusual.
Tight end Lucas Krull, one of Pickett's good friends who is also looking to land on an NFL roster next spring, has some advice for those worried about whether Pickett can thrive at the next level. Either way, the draft will serve as the end of one journey and the beginning of another. A journey longtime teammate Tre Tipton called several years ago.
