It’s safe to say that Pittsburgh Steelers rookie wide receiver George Pickens has got the football world excited, perhaps witnessing the birth of the NFL’s next great pass catcher. The league’s own social media platform adopted a meme of the Georgia product watching himself on television catching his first touchdown pass. He’s jolted to or near the top of betting odds for the Offensive Rookie of the Year Award.
But even if he wasn’t already wired that way, he’s got the right coach to keep it all in perspective. I’m talking about wide receivers coach Frisman Jackson, who is in his first season with the Steelers.
