‘Dude Is Special:’ Chris Simms Says To ‘Watch Out’ For George Pickens In 2023

While they weren’t on the field long, Pittsburgh Steelers QB Kenny Pickett and WR George Pickens made quite a mark in the team’s 27-17 win in its preseason opener, connecting on a 33-yard touchdown pass. Breaking down the play on PFT Live, Chris Simms and Mike Florio gave Pickens the “joystick award” for Week One.

“Pickett was phenomenal. I think the Steelers won the award for best first drive of the year, to just march down the field, score a touchdown,” Simms said.
