Soon-to-be former Pittsburgh Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert has drafted numerous talented wide receivers. So it’s not a surprise that in his last crack at improving the Steelers through the draft that he chose two receivers to help replace the three lost in free agency. There’s obviously immense talent in second-round pick George Pickens. But led by Colbert, the Steelers have stressed the importance of really getting to know the players joining the organization. He discussed that vetting process in an interview with 93.7 The Fan Morning Show on Wednesday morning.
“George, from a talent standpoint prior to the 2021 season, was a special young player for Georgia in the SEC,” Colbert said of Pickens.
