George Pickens is the unquestioned No. 1 wide receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers entering the 2024 season.
Pickens saw his production increase steadily from Year One to Year Two. He had 11 more receptions (63) and over 300 more receiving yards (1,140) than he did as a rookie, and scored five touchdowns.
Entering his third season, Bucky Brooks of NFL.com names Pickens as one of the five biggest threats to break the single-season receiving yard record of 1,964 set by Calvin Johnson.
“Though the Steelers will adhere to a run-centric offensive approach under new offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, Pickens could light up the stat sheet as the big-play specialist on the perimeter,” Brooks wrote.
