What’s better than one George Pickens? Two George Pickens. At least in times that are good. From an on-field talent and upside perspective, former NFL GM Rick Spielman compared LSU WR Brian Thomas Jr., one of the top wide receivers in a stacked class, to Pickens.
Appearing for the 33rd Team, Spielman said Thomas’ hands and big-play ability remind him of Pickens.
“Everybody knows his partner Malik Nabers but this is an underrated big-play threat down the field. He improved as the season went along.”
Nabers is the more highly rated of the two prospects, expected to be a Top 10-15 selection.
