George Pickens ‘The Most Physically Gifted Receiver’ Allen Robinson’s Played With, Praises Steelers’ 2023 WR Room

Former Steelers WR Allen Robinson II spent one year here, working with George Pickens and Diontae Johnson in his group. During a recent interview on the ShowTimeSpeaks podcast, he called it one of the most talented rooms he’s been in. In particular was Pickens, whom he said reminded him a lot of a younger version of himself.

“At the time, I’m playing with Diontae Johnson and George Pickens”, Robinson said of the Steelers’ wide receiver room then. “And George Pickens is like a version of myself when I was in Jacksonville. So for me, I automatically gravitated towards George with the plays he makes and so on and so forth”.
