WR George Pickens appears to have hit the proverbial “rookie wall” as the Pittsburgh Steelers head down the stretch.
Pickens opened the season as the team’s young phenom, making countless highlight reel catches in training camp and flashing his immense talent during the preseason before getting his opportunity to show what he can do on an NFL stage in the regular season. While his counting stats may not blow you away (37 receptions for 512 yards and two TDs), his impact has been felt on the field as it appears as if Pittsburgh has once again hit the jackpot on yet another WR selection outside of the first round.
