Going into the the 2023 season, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense has a chance to take a big step forward. After a few seasons of being a below average to bad unit, Pittsburgh really has a chance to ascend on the backs of Year Two Kenny Pickett and a lot of great weapons. Some of the Steelers’ best weapons are in the wide receiver room, like Diontae Johnson and George Pickens, but for the offense to take that next step they need more diversity in their route trees, especially when it comes to Pickens.
Matt Harmon of his Reception Perception show said that Pickens needs to have his route tree expanded if the Steelers offense is going to take that next step and come out of the basement of the league.
