If WR George Pickens pays attention to social media, he’s had a couple of former Pro Bowl receivers talking about his game the last couple of days.
Former Bengals WR Chad Johnson called Pickens a potential top-five receiver in the game, but also said he must do better at making the most of his opportunities after missing a potential touchdown in the end zone against the Tennessee Titans. Former Steelers WR Hines Ward also recently spoke about Pickens in an interview conducted by DJ Siddiqi of Forbes, also calling the fellow former Georgia Bulldog a gifted receiver who should be more involved in Pittsburgh’s passing game.
