Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens was getting a lot of buzz throughout NFL training camp. Now, Pickens is backing up some the hype with his play for Pittsburgh.
Pickens, a second-round pick out of the University of Georgia, made an acrobatic one-handed catch on Thursday Night Football against the Cleveland Browns.
Pickens’ one-handed grab is being compared to Odell Beckham’s legendary catch. Pickens has been frustrated with his lack of targets, but made up for it with his incredible catch. Pickens made some similar catches during his time with the Georgia Bulldogs.
