George Pickens is building a name for himself by making tough catches and breaking big plays in both training camp and in the Steelers first preseason game. But he’s also gained attention for a block he threw midway through the first quarter against the Seahawks.
I want to look at that play, and the surrounding plays, because I think they tell an interesting story that shows the real value of that now-viral block. It starts with the first play of the second drive.
