Regardless of how teams handle their business in the preseason, rookie quarterbacks &#8212; draft picks or not &#8212; have plenty of opportunity to leave a mark as their organization takes a look at the future.<\/p>\n<p>Kenny Pickett made a case why he should be the No.  1 quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 1 of the preseason, while Desmond Ridder seems primed to start for the Atlanta Falcons at some point and Malik Willis showcased why he should be starting for the Tennessee Titans down the road. <\/p>\n<p>How did each of those quarterbacks &#8212; and the other rookie signal callers &#8212; fare in Week 2?  Let&#8217;s take a look. <\/p>\n<h2>Kenny PickettSteelers<\/h2>\n<div class=\"PlayerSnippet\" style=\"border-top-color: #101010\">\n<div class=\"PlayerSnippet-image\">\n<div class=\"HeadshotContainer \">\n<div class=\"Headshot Headshot--largest\">\n<figure class=\"Headshot-image img\"><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"PlayerSnippet-teamLogo\">\n<div class=\"TeamLogo  TeamLogo--small\">\n<figure class=\" img\"><img class=\"TeamLogo-image is-lazy-image\" alt=\"team logo\" src=\"https:\/\/sports.cbsimg.net\/fly\/images\/nfl\/logos\/team\/426.svg\" bad-src=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Pickett made his case to be the Steelers starting quarterback after a strong follow-up to his impressive debut.  He finished 6 of 7 for 76 yards and a touchdown, finishing with a 151.5 passer rating.  Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin had Pickett run a no-huddle offense, finding Benny Snell for the score to cap off a five play, 63-yard drive in just 42 seconds. <\/p>\n<p>Pickett is 19 or 22 for 171 yards with three touchdowns and a 138.6 passer rating in two games.  He&#8217;s looking like the top quarterback on the Steelers, even if Pittsburgh may go with Mitchell Trubisky to start the year. <\/p>\n<div class=\"shortcode marker\">\n<section class=\"Newsletter-container Newsletter-container--marker\">\n<div id=\"Newsletter\" class=\"Newsletter \" data-component=\"newsletterSignUp\" data-newsletter-sign-up-options=\"{\" containerid=\"\">\n<p>                Please check the opt-in box to acknowledge that you would like to subscribe.\n            <\/p>\n<div class=\"Newsletter-stateSent\">\n<h3 class=\"Newsletter-title\">\n<p>                    Thanks for signing up!<br \/>\n                <\/h3>\n<h4 class=\"Newsletter-description\">\n<p>                    Keep an eye on your inbox.<br \/>\n                <\/h4>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"Newsletter-title\">\n<p>                    Sorry!<br \/>\n                <\/h3>\n<h4 class=\"Newsletter-description\">\n<p>                    There was an error processing your subscription.<br \/>\n                <\/h4>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<h2>Malik Willis, Titans<\/h2>\n<div class=\"PlayerSnippet\" style=\"border-top-color: #002244\">\n<div class=\"PlayerSnippet-image\">\n<div class=\"HeadshotContainer \">\n<div class=\"Headshot Headshot--largest\">\n<figure class=\"Headshot-image img\"><img class=\" is-lazy-image\" alt=\"headshot-image\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sportshub.cbsistatic.com\/i\/r\/2022\/08\/04\/695db15f-c4c2-44f7-8b90-50c574285c40\/thumbnail\/100x100\/b762f54b03aedb373ff98057f7e35a2c\/2804167.png?ssl=1\" bad-src=\"\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"PlayerSnippet-teamLogo\">\n<div class=\"TeamLogo  TeamLogo--small\">\n<figure class=\" img\"><img class=\"TeamLogo-image is-lazy-image\" alt=\"team logo\" src=\"https:\/\/sports.cbsimg.net\/fly\/images\/nfl\/logos\/team\/432.svg\" bad-src=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Willis looked impressive in his second game with the Titans, even if he still needs work throwing the football.
