Steelers' Patrick Peterson: George Pickens 'Reminds Me a Lot of DeAndre Hopkins'

Veteran cornerback Patrick Peterson has gone up against numerous talented receivers during his 12-year career, and he had some high praise for Pittsburgh Steelers second-year wideout George Pickens.

Peterson, who signed with the Steelers on a two-year deal this offseason, said during an appearance on Green Light with Chris Long that he sees traits in Pickens that are reminiscent of one of the best receivers of his generation:

"He reminds me a lot of DeAndre Hopkins on the way he goes up and attacks the football, his catch radius. There's not many passes that you see DeAndre Hopkins drop, no matter how he catches it, it's gonna come down to his possession.
