The hype training regarding Pittsburgh Steelers rookie wide receiver George Pickens is rolling along at a rather fast pace.
Just under a full week into his first training camp at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, Pickens is gaining a ton of attention and turning heads across the NFL landscape, as the second-round pick has gotten off to a fast start with the Steelers ahead of his first season in the NFL. He’s gained a ton of praise from teammates like Chase Claypool and Mitch Trubisky, as well as head coach Mike Tomlin and GM Omar Khan.
Now, Pro Football Focus is adding to the hype train, making a bold prediction Wednesday morning that Pickens will lead the Steelers in receiving yards in 2022, ahead of guys like star wide receiver Diontae Johnson and Claypool.
