‘That’s Only Gonna Make Us Better’: George Pickens Fueled By Fellow WRs In Training Camp

Competition breeds excellence, or so the saying goes.

For the Pittsburgh Steelers, the hope is that the friendly competition within the wide receiver room between the likes of veteran Diontae Johnson and second-year wide receiver George Pickens creates an excellent one-two punch at the position long-term fro the Black and Gold.

Through two days of training camp, the pairing has pushed each other to one-up the other with plays made on Chuck Noll Field at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe in a bit of friendly, healthy competition.

On Day One, Johnson made a spectacular one-handed catch in a team session.
