George Pickens Is Ready To ‘Lead By Example’ As Veteran In WR Room

The wide receiver room in Pittsburgh experienced a bit of a shift this offseason. Diontae Johnson was traded away to the Carolina Panthers, and Allen Robinson II was released from the roster prior to free agency. That leaves George Pickens as the undisputed WR1 on the roster with the most experience at the position.

Calvin Austin III was drafted at the same time as him but hasn’t played nearly as many snaps. Van Jefferson, Scotty Miller, and Quez Watkins have all been in the league longer, but one or two of them may not make it past the final roster cutdown in September.
