NFL Week 1: Why did Steelers' Najee Harris lose captain status to Kenny Pickett?
On the Friday edition of the North Shore Drive podcast, host Christopher Carter welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Brian Batko to preview the team's Week 1 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday at Acrisure Stadium. What will the return of Nick Bosa after his contract mean for the visitors? And Are the Steelers and 49ers similar teams on paper? They also discuss coach Mike Tomlin's choice to make QB Kenny Pickett the sole captain of the offense after Mitch Trubisky and Najee Harris shared the duty last season. Was there a purpose in taking the title from Harris? Or is this a natural step in Pickett's progression in taking charge of the offense? Our duo tackles those questions and more.
