Steelers first-round pick Kenny Pickett takes in a day at Kennywood

WEST MIFFLIN (KDKA) - Go ahead, you can make the pun - on Saturday in West Mifflin, it was "Kenny"wood!

The Steelers' first-round pick was at the amusement park as part of his "welcome back" tour of Pittsburgh.

He got the full experience, taking a ride on the Steel Curtain inside of Steelers Country.

Most importantly, it's not a trip to Kennywood without Potato Patch fries!

Maybe not the best food once the season starts, but we'll give him a pass this time.
