Pickett, Love and Mayfield shine in preseason but only one was flawless
Kenny Pickett, Jordan Love and Baker Mayfield looked great under center for their respective teams Friday in NFL preseason, but the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback looked much better than the other two.
Pickett, 25, only played in one single drive, which finished with a touchdown after moving the chains 70 yards through the air into the end zone on 6-for-7 completed passes.

Mayfield, 28, led the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in three drives against the Steelers in a game that saw Tom Brady's former team lose 27-17 at home.
In those three drives, Mayfield three for 63 yards and a TD on 8-for-9 completions, and looks like the team's first choice at QB.
Love, 24, played just a couple drives for the Green Bay Packers in a blowout win over the Cincinnati Bengals, showing a glimpse of what's to come.
Jordan Love filling Aaron Rodgers' shoes
Aaron Rodgers left huge shoes to fill in the organization and Love has a lot of pressure to succeed.
He threw for 76 yards and a touchdown on 7-for-10 completed passes with zero interceptions.
The star of the contest for Green Bay was running back Emanuel Wilson, who scored two touchdowns on the ground, including an 80-yard house call.
Wilson, 24, finished the game with 111 rushing yards on just six carries.
