Kenny Pickett video divides fans after Panthers post
Fans clash over Kenny Pickett’s Panthers spotlight, revisiting his Steelers exit and debating whether he was misused or simply not the answer.
The Carolina Panthers stirred up conversation across social media this week after posting a spotlight video featuring former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett. Captioned “Klutch Kenny,” the clip showed Pickett reflecting on one of his favorite career moments — a Christmas Eve game-winner against the Las Vegas Raiders, capped by a touchdown to George Pickens over the middle. While the memory highlighted a rare bright spot from his time in Pittsburgh, reactions on X quickly turned into a debate over Pickett’s career arc and how things unfolded with the Steelers.
