Conclusion
Overall, the primary thesis for George Pickens to avoid the sophomore slump and continue his positive trajectory as a player is to reduce his wasted motion and become a more efficient mover and player. Given the aggressive way Pickens approaches football and life in general, he should continue on this developmental arc.
Furthermore, the external factors surrounding Pickens should provide even more fertile ground for his ascension. He now only has to worry about developing chemistry with one quarterback, he should be more comfortable in Pittsburgh’s offense, and he will be more used to the speed and physicality of the NFL in general.
Additionally, learning from Allen Robinson, who shares many similarities with Pickens regarding their play style, should help him further. In conclusion, given the totality of the circumstances, I feel confident that George Pickens will avoid the dreaded sophomore slump and continue to improve as an NFL player.
