George Pickens ‘Can Really Be A Monster’, Heyward Says: ‘This Dude Works His Tail Off’

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie wide receiver George Pickens struggled to get targets in the early portions of the season. From the very first game, which they even won, he was fielding questions about whether or not it was frustrating for him.

Now it has become whether or not he’s enough of the focal point of the offense. While not perhaps having established himself yet as the team’s number one receiver, the second-round pick out of Georgia is clearly garnering a lot of attention with his play. And as we’re frequently reminded, those plays we see in the stadium are what his teammates see all the time behind closed doors.
