Coming off an impressive 2023 season, the future looks very bright for third-year Pittsburgh Steelers receiver George Pickens.
Entering his age-23 season, Pickens is the clear-cut No. 1 receiver for the Steelers under new offensive coordinator Arthur Smith and has some upgrades under center to work with in quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Justin Fields, which should improve his production this season.
Though he was in an offense that struggled to throw the football at times last season, Pickens had a career year and now appears on the cusp of stardom. Knowing that, it’s not a surprise to see him crack Bleacher Report’s top 25 NFL players under 25 list Friday morning from Brad Gagnon.
