George Pickens will have the least help he has had in his career to this point as he enters the 2024-25 season. The departure of Diontae Johnson opens up the No. 1 receiver slot as well as a boatload of potential for the third-year receiver.

As the No. 2 man in 2023-24, Pickens hauled in 63 receptions for 1,140 yards. This averages 18.2 yards per catch, the best in the NFL.

Pickens also caught over 50% of his targets, showing efficiency at just 23 years old.

The standard of receiver in the modern NFL is undoubtedly Justin Jefferson.
