Somehow 10 wide receivers were taken before him. Before the draft, Pickens was viewed as a first-round talent, but slid due to medical concerns and off-field behavior. He played in only the final four games of college football last year, catching just five passes. But he recorded a 52-yard reception in Georgia's win over Alabama in the National Championship. One of Pickens' best attributes coming out of college was his physicality. The 6'3 200 pound receiver isn't afraid of contact and is very good at run-blocking. Pickens made his debut as the Pittsburgh Steelers faced the Seattle Seahawks in the preseason. In the first quarter of last night's contest, Pickens wowed people with a physical block he made. He pancaked a Seattle defender with ease. The block was very reminiscent of Steelers legend Hines Ward.

There were also concerns about his behavior becoming an issue in an NFL locker room. That's why he slid to the Steelers in the second-round.

We've seen them develop Diontae Johnson, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Chase Claypool, Antonio Brown, and many others. Pickens is the newest of their receivers and has the potential to be one of the best in his position in a few years' time. Rookie first-round quarterback Kenny Pickett also had himself a performance for the Steelers. He completed 13 out of 15 passes and recorded over 120 total yards and 2 touchdowns. Things are looking bright for the future of Pittsburgh. Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Edited by John Maxwell × Feedback Thank You!
