In sports, full circle moments happen quite often. Life has a funny way of working out that way.
For Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens, he experienced that full-circle moment at Elite Week, an event hosted by G.O.A.T Farm Sports where quarterbacks and receivers train, held at Del Valle High School in El Paso, Texas.
Pickens, who enters his third year in the NFL, modeled parts of his game after the late Chris Henry, a former standout wide receiver at West Virginia and then with the Cincinnati Bengals.
Turns out, Henry’s son, Chris Henry Jr., a wide receiver in his own right who is a five-star recruit out of Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana, Calif.
