Steelers, GM Omar Khan ‘Feeling Great’ About The Development And Progression Of George Pickens

The 11th wide receiver off the board in the 2022 NFL Draft might honestly be the most overlooked and underrated of the talented crop, and he happens to reside in the Steel City.

Selected 52nd overall in April by then-GM Kevin Colbert, University of Georgia star receiver George Pickens has transitioned very well to the NFL, looking like a bonafide star for the Pittsburgh Steelers at the receiver position, an area in which the black and gold seem to excel when it comes to identifying and landing talent on the roster.

Throughout much of his first training camp with the Steelers at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, Pickens was the star of the show, making play after play each and every day, creating a ton of buzz and overall hype around him in a loaded receiver room overall.
