At some point, the rest of the NFL is going to learn not to let wide receiver prospects like George Pickens fall out of the first round.
Thankfully for Pittsburgh Steelers fans, that lesson has still yet to sink in, which is why they landed George Pickens halfway through the second round of the 2022 NFL draft.
Pickens showed flashes of his brilliance in the preseason, and now that he’s getting more opportunities, he’s doing the same now that the games count.
Early in Thursday night’s matchup against the Cleveland Browns, Pickens showed off the rare talent that should have made him one of the top pass-catchers off the board in this year’s loaded class.
This might already be the catch of the year:
