Ever had that one player you loved watching growing up who you gravitated toward on every single play?
For me, that player was OLB James Harrison, having played as an edge rusher in high school myself and getting to watch Harrison win with brute strength, power, and effort against offensive tackles nearly 100 pounds larger than him.
Pittsburgh Steelers WR George Pickens is a talented player in his own right, and likely watched many other wide receivers growing up, looking to model his game after them. However, when asked what it’s like to go against an established veteran like CB Patrick Peterson in practice and if he is taking anything away from their matchups, Pickens admitted that he has been a fan of Peterson growing up and now relishes the opportunity to face him on a daily basis.
