Saturday night’s NFL preseason game takeaways

The NFL had multiple big preseason games on Saturday night. Let’s break down my three biggest takeaways from these games.  

Pittsburgh Steelers vs Jacksonville Jaguars

The Pittsburgh Steelers may have found their quarterback for the next decade in Kenny Pickett, Pickett was fantastic in his preseason showing against the Jags last night throwing 6-7 for 76 yards and a touchdown but what makes Pickett special compared to the other Steelers QB’s Pickett just seemed so unfazed against any pass rush the Jags threw at the Steelers offensive line. 

Dallas Cowboys vs Los Angeles Chargers

Former USFL wide receiver KaVontae Turpin is showing the Cowboys why he could be special for them, Turpin signed with the Cowboys last month after being a top candidate in the USFL last season. Turpin last night returned two punts for touchdowns and had multiple highlights while doing so, it’s also a big deal for Dallas as they are relatively weak at the receiver position outside of CeeDee Lamb and Micheal Gallup who’s currently coming off a ACL injury.

Tennessee Titans vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers 

Malik Willis continues to impress. Third round pick Malik Willis for the Tennessee Titans has had his ups and downs in the preseason thus far but has showed some potential stardom in him during training camp and the preseason, Willis last night against Tampa Bay had some nice plays making defenders miss and making relatively hard crossbody throws to receivers in the flat, Willis also finished his night with a touchdown throw to TE Chigoziem Okonkwo.
