After yesterday’s insane catch, Pittsburgh Steelers WR George Pickens has been the talk of the NFL. Pickens showcased his spectacular ability last year but to be an elite receiver you need to obviously be able to make catches (which he can clearly do) but also be at least a somewhat effective route runner. Last season, Pickens’ route tree was limited, but today he outlined specific new route we may see him run this year.
“I want you guys to see me coming on drags, across the middle, posts, hit way more post this year for sure,” Pickens said in an interview posted to Post-Gazette Sports’ YouTube page.
