But he could do that because he was so big and that he could just shake off defenders and extend plays.

Pickett might be elusive, but he doesn't have the same stature as Ben to shake off defenders and Ben had a quick release, the fastest in the NFL for a few years, so holding onto the ball wasn't as much of a problem due to both of those factors.
