FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Editors’ Note: Interviews are available on short notice with BetUS Senior Analyst, Barry Barger.

Quarterback Kenny Pickett is currently favored to be drafted by the Carolina Panthers during the 2022 NFL Draft this week, according to the latest odds posted by the oddsmakers at BetUS.com. 

“Our oddsmakers, and our customers believe it is down to either the Panthers (+150 or 3:2 odds) or the New Orleans Saints (+175) at this point,” said Barry Barger, a Senior Betting Analyst with BetUS. 

“The quarterback position has an atypical fit in the 2022 NFL draft. One of the first players at the position to come off the board is Kenny Pickett. His name has been floated as high sixth, which would mean he could go from being a Pitt Panther to a Carolina Panthers, or there could be a significant drop. Pickett decided to return to school for 2021 and he had his best year by far. In his first four seasons at Pitt, Pickett threw 39 TD passes. Last season, he threw for 4,319 yards and 42 touchdowns. Among questions about Pickett has been his hand size, 8 5/8 inches, which is small for a quarterback. Is he a one-year wonder in the ACC or will an NFL team find a gem? That's the intrigue of the draft,” said Tim Williams, Director of Media Relations for BetUS.
