The Pittsburgh Steelers have built a reputation for finding hidden wide receiver gems in the NFL Draft. They got Antonio Brown in the sixth round, Diontae Johnson in the third round, and multiple second-rounders who shined early in their careers including JuJu Smith-Schuster, Chase Claypool, and most recently George Pickens.
While these receivers may have been draft steals, they all left the Steelers in a messy breakup (JuJu’s was more sad than messy), except for George Pickens who’s entering his fourth year with the Steelers with a lot of complications.
Whether Pittsburgh decides to extend Pickens’ contract will be one of the biggest questions for the franchise over the next two years.
