The Steelers aren’t strangers to letting a good wide receiver leave their team, as seen with players like Mike Wallace, Antonio Brown, and Emmanuel Sanders, but usually, it’s only done when they know they have a good succession plan in place. That trend was broken this offseason when they traded Diontae Johnson to the Panthers, with the team still not having a definite wide receiver two. However, perhaps part of the reason they felt so comfortable with the cupboard being more bare at receiver is the potential of George Pickens. It seems one new Steelers’ coach has an incredibly high opinion of him, indicating their trust in him to carry the load.
