Russell Wilson Explained To NFL Analyst Why Steelers Need To Keep George Pickens

In the midst of a quarterback search, the Pittsburgh Steelers also need to address their wide receiver corps. There’s a lack of proven talent at the position beyond WR George Pickens. And Pickens’ future with the team has been in question.

There isn’t any question about Pickens’ talent. Despite all the quarterback instability since the Steelers drafted George Pickens in 2022, he has produced quite well. He’s played in 48 games and caught 174 passes for 2,841 yards and 12 touchdowns. He averages 16.3 yards per catch. He’s a dynamic receiver who can make plays down the field, high-point the ball, and even make plays after the ball is in his hands.
