Pittsburgh Steelers second-round rookie wide receiver George Pickens has managed to do something every day of training camp to get himself noticed on the field in a positive way, leading many to make early projections about how much of the ‘real deal’ he is.
A standout out of Georgia, the 6’3” star was regarded as a prospect with first-round talent, but he fell into the second round due to health concerns, having suffered a torn ACL the year prior, which limited him to very little work during the 2021 season.
Most of what he achieved at the college level, however, can largely be attributed to sheer natural abilities, such as his size, his speed, his leaping ability.
