This is crazy! Remember the Steelers’ big 3 of old? You know, Big Ben, AB, and Bell. Well, the Steelers have found a new big 3. And I would say, a better big 3. And before you say this is recency bias, which it might be, or that I’m tripping, which I might be, watch them play!
Kenny Pickett was suspended a game for a reason we can not disclose, but he has not missed a beat. He has matured and clearly took this offseason to study the playbook. He is throwing dots all over the field, already putting him in the early MVP race. Somehow he is 3rd in passing yards while playing one less game. I have closely watched their recent games, and I have come to the conclusion that Pickett is indeed HIM.
But if Pickett is HIM, then what does that make Najee Harris? By his performances so far, some would say that he is the best running back in the league right now. Of course, I lean toward Jonathan Taylor, but Harris is tearing the soul out of defenses. He leads the league in rushing yards with 543. 543! We are only 4 games into the season! You already have to worry about the passing game, but if you sleep on this run game, it will be a nightmare.
But if Harris is a nightmare, then what does that make the best receiver in the league, George Pickens? 770 yards! Ridiculous! 11 touchdowns! Seriously? He is averaging 25.67 yards a catch! Seriously, these are video game numbers! Put him on the Madden 26 Cover already! He always seems to come down with the football. I have literally seen plays where Pickett just throws it up. And when it comes down, it always is in Pickens’ hands! I’m calling it now, Pickens is MVP.
And if Pickett is HIM, Harris is a nightmare, and Pickens is MVP, what does that mean for the league? Who can stop this team? I haven’t even mentioned their defense! This team was voted most likely to improve, but I’m putting them up there with most likely to win the Super Bowl. Bring out the terrible towels.
