There’s no question the caliber of player George Pickens could become. It’s just a question of if and when. First-round ability with a March 2021 ACL tear pushed him into the second round and into the Pittsburgh Steelers’ laps at #52. They made Pickens a Steeler, now with the goal of unlocking his potential. Speaking with reporters following Tuesday’s minicamp practice, Mike Tomlin said he’s unsure how quickly Pickens will develop.
“Very much in development,” he said via the team’s YouTube channel. “He’s got a lot of talent but he’s raw. But that’s okay. That’s why we have coaches that’s our job to help him grow and develop, not only him, but all of them.
