It is always fun to pick out the most impactful matchups to watch ahead of each game, and for the Pittsburgh Steelers versus the New York Jets on Sunday Night Football, one of the ones to circle is WR George Pickens against CB Sauce Gardner.
Pickens regards himself as a top five receiver, while Gardner is definitely one of the top young corners in the league. They were both drafted in 2022. Gardner was the fourth overall draft pick to the Jets, while Pickens was the No. 52 overall selection in the second round to the Steelers.
We will definitely see that matchup at times on Sunday, but Mike Tomlin is uncertain if they will be matched, with Gardner following Pickens around in coverage.
