Come back with me down memory lane as the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft had reached its midway point and the Pittsburgh Steelers were on the clock at #52 overall. They had already selected QB Kenny Pickett in the first round and the belief was that they would likely target a wide receiver somewhere on Day Two. With the likes of Skyy Moore, George Pickens, and Alec Pierce available, it seemed like high certainty that wideout would be the pick for Pittsburgh.
That’s when WR Chase Claypool took the stage in Las Vegas and announced that he would have a new teammate in the receiver room: Georgia WR George Pickens.
