Here’s Why Steelers Rookie WR George Pickens Should Be on Your Fantasy Radar

Nearly a fantasy lifetime ago, during the 2011 NFL draft, the Cincinnati Bengals selected A.J. Green with the fourth overall pick. Two picks later, the Atlanta Falcons selected Julio Jones. At that time, I blindly believed Jones to be the far superior draft prospect.

2011 NFL Combine results
Green: 6'3", 211 lbs., 4.48 40, 34.5 vert, 126 broad, 6.91 three cone
Jones: 6'3", 220 lbs., 4.34 40, 38.5 vert, 135 broad, 6.66 three cone

Not that I believed Green to be overrated, I just couldn't believe the Bengals preferred Green over Jones.
