Over the first two seasons of his NFL career, it was easy to look at George Pickens and wonder what his potential could be in a competent offensive system with a good quarterback. He, of course, had neither of those two things with QBs Kenny Pickett, Mitch Trubisky, and Mason Rudolph as well as offensive coordinator Matt Canada.
Now he has Russell Wilson and Arthur Smith, a very clear upgrade in both areas.
