Film Room: The Eerie Similarities Between George Pickens and A.J. Green

With the 52nd pick in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers selected Georgia WR George Pickens. Pickens was widely regarded as one of, if not the top WRs in the draft class at the conclusion of the 2021 NFL Draft heading into the spring. However, Pickens unfortunately tore his ACL during spring practices in March, making it look like he was going to miss the rest of the 2021 season. However, Pickens battled back to take the field in late November and help the Georgia Bulldogs win the CFP National Championship with several pivotal splash plays.
