It didn’t take long last season for the Pittsburgh Steelers to find out that they had a physical specimen in WR George Pickens.
This narrative has been hit so many times since Pickens was drafted by Pittsburgh in the second round out of Georgia, but the fact remains that Pickens has the combination of size, athleticism, and skill that few receivers in the league can match. We have seen a highlight reel of catches from Pickens in his first NFL 22 games that most pass catchers would be happy with for a career. Spectacular grabs have become expected and rather routine for the second-year receiver.
