ESPN Analyst Predicts George Pickens As NFL’s Breakout Player Next Season

With the NFL season now officially over, it is time to look towards next season. And while it is way too early to know too much of what will happen in the 2023 NFL season, it doesn’t hurt to make predictions. Today, a slew of ESPN analysts came out with an article which has a laundry list of predictions, including the league’s 2023 breakout player.

While the players picked ranged from every team in the NFL, Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens found himself as Matt Bowen’s pick for breakout player.

“Pickens has all the traits of a boundary receiver who can be isolated to win with his frame, ball skills and three-level ability,” Bowen wrote.
