Modeling His Game After ‘Little Guys,’ George Pickens Thankful To Be Blessed With Great, Natural Body Control

One of the key calling cards for new Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens coming out of the University of Georgia was not only his impressive combination of size, strength and speed, but also the rather impressive body control overall for a guy his size.

Early on in training camp for the Steelers at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe on Chuck Noll Field, Pickens has put that body control on display, twisting, turning and vernally contorting his body in impressive fashion to make plays in the air, drawing plenty of praise from onlookers in Latrobe.

Throughout his career with the Bulldogs, that was the biggest thing that stuck out on tape with Pickens, who caught passes from a handful of quarterbacks during his time in Athens.
