ESPN: Steelers' Kenny Pickett Put 'Extra Emphasis on Building' Rapport with Pickens

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett and wideout George Pickens have shown solid chemistry this summer.

And according to ESPN's Brooke Pryor, building that connection has been a priority for the young quarterback:

"Pickett isn't the only member of the offense showing the early signs of a second-year jump. Wide receiver Pickens was a one-man highlight reel in individual and team periods. While Pickett showed obvious chemistry with top receivers Diontae Johnson and Allen Robinson II, he seemingly put an extra emphasis on building a rapport with Pickens—beginning with the first play of the first team period when he attempted a 20-yard pass to Pickens down the sideline.
