The Steelers selected wide receiver George Pickens from the University of Georgia in the 2nd Round of the NFL draft, marking the fifth consecutive season they’ve taken a pass catcher with one of their top two picks. Here’s a closer look at Pickens, and at how he may fit with the Steelers. This allows Pickens to break inside and gain separation:On the next one, Pickens again uses leverage to create space for himself. This means Claypool, when the Steelers go 11 personnel with Pickens in the game, could be slotted more as the Z receiver. I suspect, so long as his knee is healthy and he digests the playbook, Pickens will see the field quickly.
