Shocking Trade: Eagles Hands Mike Vick’s Number To Rival QB.

The former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback is taking Mike Vick’s number.

PITTSBURGH — Former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett is making a number change as he heads to the Philadelphia Eagles, according to the X account NFL Jersey Numbers.

Pickett is giving up his noted No. 8 after wearing it throughout his time at the University of Pittsburgh and then in his first two seasons with the Steelers. He’ll now wear No. 7 with the Eagles, most-recently known for his representation of Mike Vick in Philadelphia.

Others who wore No. 7 with the Eagles are highlighted by Ron Jaworksi, and include Dick Frahm, Roy Zimmerman, John Huarte, Jim Ward, JohnReaves, Roger Ruzek, Ken O’Brien, Bobby Hoying, Sean Landeta, Jeff Garcia, Michael Vick, Sam Bradford and Nate Sudfeld.

Pickett is going to Jalen Hurts’ backup, Philadelphia. The third-year quarterback asked for a trade, and the Steelers made the decision to part ways. They complied, and the next day they traded for Justin Fields from the Chicago Bears.

Pickett played 25 games in his two seasons as the starting quarterback for the Steelers, finishing 14-10 with 4,474 yards, 13 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions.
