‘His Body Control Is Something Serious’: Minkah Fitzpatrick Impressed With Rookie George Pickens

Seemingly each and every day in training camp at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, Pittsburgh Steelers rookie wide receiver George Pickens made play after play that turned heads and created headlines for the black and gold.

Pickens, the 11th wide receiver taken in the 2022 NFL Draft, has certainly liked like the best of the bunch so far. He’s shown off his impressive physicality, speed and insane body control throughout training camp and into the Steelers’ preseason opener against the Seattle Seahawks at Acrisure Stadium.

There was the toe-tap catch for a touchdown on a gorgeous throw from quarterback Mason Rudolph, and then there was the twisting, toe-tapping catch along the right sideline in the second quarter with a defender draped all over him that turned heads as well.
