Pittsburgh Steelers WR George Pickens is a burgeoning superstar. Pickens had an impressive rookie season, posting a stat line of 52 reception for 801 yards and four touchdowns. However, Pickens had room to grow in his route running this offseason to become a more complete receiver and he has done that.
While some may have doubted Pickens’ ability to improve, Pickens never has and his teammates see the confidence he has in himself. In an article for Steelers.com, Teresa Varley spoke with some of Pickens’ teammates who gushed about Pickens’ confidence and ability.
“I have never seen anyone come in so young, and yet have so much belief and confidence in themselves,” said cornerback Levi Wallace to Varley.
