In what could be a preview of what’s to come for the Pittsburgh Steelers offense, QB Justin Fields’ connection with WR George Pickens has been heating up over the course of the first 12 training camp practices.
Alex Kozora, who had been present at every practice so far, tabulated the stats for the two through the first nine practices, and the splits from the first six practices to the following three are eye-opening. Through the first six practices, Fields and Pickens connected on nine of their 16 attempts for 116 yards and one touchdown. From practices seven through nine, they connected on 15 of 18 for 144 yards and five touchdowns.
