Pittsburgh Steelers’ second-year quarterback Kenny Pickett is now a married man.
On Saturday, Pickett tied the knot with Amy Paternoster, his longtime girlfriend. The 25-year-old documented the special day through a plethora of posts on his Instagram story, and teammate Calvin Austin III shared a video of the newlyweds dancing:
Congratulations to the newly married and happy couple!
The Steelers drafted Pickett in the first round (20th overall) last year. Pickett was the first quarterback taken in the 2022 Draft, and the only one selected within the top 73 picks before the Atlanta Falcons took Cincinnati’s Desmond Ridder at No 74 overall.
Amy went viral during the draft process last year when she defended the size of her man’s hands.

The Pittsburgh product opened his rookie year as the Steelers’ backup quarterback. He debuted in Week 4, coming on in relief of a struggling Mitch Trubisky. The Steelers dropped that game to the New York Jets by a final score of 24-20.
Pickett went on to win seven of his 12 starts as a rookie. He completed 63 percent of his pass attempts for 2,404 yards and seven touchdowns against nine interceptions to go along with 237 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns.
Pickett and the Steelers will open their 2023 season against the San Francisco 49ers at Acrisure Stadium on Sept. 10.
