George Pickens ‘Becoming A Better Route Runner’ This Offseason According To Kenny Pickett

After just one season in the NFL, Pittsburgh Steelers WR George Pickens looks like a superstar in the making.

The Steelers got a big-time steal in the University of Georgia product, selecting him in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft to complement their first-round pick, Pitt QB Kenny Pickett. Pickens was widely considered the top WR prospect prior to the start of the 2021 college football season, but an ACL tear in spring ball as well as rumors about his character caused him to slip out of Day One altogether and right into Pittsburgh’s lap at #52 overall.
