Following the 33-yard touchdown from quarterback Kenny Pickett to wide receiver George Pickens in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ preseason opener, the hype train entering the 2023 season has gained significant steam.
After all the offseason hype between the two coming out of strong rookie seasons for the duo, the touchdown pass built off some strong rapport between the two in training camp in Year Two. Now, the hype train is nearing the point of potentially careening off the tracks, especially with Pickens.
Former Steelers safety Ryan Clark stated that Pickens is “much more talented” than Justin Jefferson in Minnesota on Monday, and Steelers cornerback Patrick Peterson agreed with him on Wednesday.
