Steelers will use George Pickens as their primary target in the near future

It’s only a matter of time before George Pickens becomes the primary target of Kenny Pickett and the Pittsburgh Steelers offense. 

Remaining optimistic is essential during a rebuilding process. Fans in Pittsburgh are the latest community impacted by a roster makeover. Their start to the new campaign was disappointing and left fans desiring more. Mitchell Trubisky eventually ended up on the bench – opening the door for Kenny Pickett to begin his legacy.

Results were slow, but he continues to show improvement. A late touchdown drive against the Colts was the first page in the book of Pickett’s memories. With the help of his favorite receiver, Pickett will have a successful career.

Making the quarterback look good is what most receivers do. Kenny Pickett is gaining confidence behind the center with help from his rookie receiver. George Pickens continues to make big plays – causing defenses anxiety on the gridiron.

His highlight impresses viewers and put the Steelers a better chance to win. Feeding No.14 will become the trend for Pittsburgh’s offense as his career progresses. An impressive stat line in his rookie season leads analysts to believe he will be the next legendary wideout to begin his career as a Steeler.

Steelers can build an offense with George Pickens as the Primary WR

There are a lot of factors that make Pickens the perfect receiver to keep on a developing roster. Body control, catch radius, size, and other attributes help Pittsburgh’s rookie stand out. His drive is eminent and shows that he has bought into the Steelers’ franchise. Effort and determination help Pickens perform in the clutch. He’s ranked third in receiving yards among rookies (510) and fourth in targets (59) – already causing havoc for the opposing defense.

Contributions from their second-round pick are appreciated and excite fans for what could be a promising future. Pickens produces like a first-round stud. His 14.2 yards per reception ranks second highest among his teammates. No.14 is tied for most touchdown receptions on the team (2) – making him an X-Factor on a struggling offense.

The future looks promising for the Steelers, especially with Pickens lined up on the outside. Defenses struggle to stop him early in his career -early signs of a legend in the making. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Steelers work to incorporate No.14 into the offense more in seasons to come. Productivity from Diontae Johnson is not as prominent as in previous seasons. No.18 is ranked forty-seventh in receiving yards (505) among other receivers – Pickens is tied for forty-fifth (510).

Times are changing in Pittsburgh and soon Pickens will line up as the primary receiver. His production this season is only a glimpse of his potential – bringing hope to Steelers fans that will last for the next few seasons.
