George Pickens Left T.J. Watt Stunned During Rookie Season: ‘Don’t Know If He Understands How Good He Is’

Coming out of the University of Georgia, wide receiver George Pickens had all the tools necessary to be a great receiver in the NFL rather quickly.

Even knowing that and knowing he should have been in the discussion for the top receiver in the 2022 NFL Draft class, his performance as a rookie for the Pittsburgh Steelers was rather jaw dropping, especially for veteran linebacker and reigning Defensive Player of the Year T.J. Watt.

Appearing on NBC Sports with longtime journalist Peter King Thursday, Watt heaped praise on the terrific young receiver, stating that he isn’t sure if Pickens knows how good he is.
