George Pickens Looking To Take Next Step In 2023 Season

With Chase Claypool in Chicago, Pickens will have every opportunity to become the Steelers’ number-one receiver in 2023.

Drafted out of Georgia in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft, Pickens compiled a solid rookie campaign of 52 catches, 801 yards, and a team-leading four receiving touchdowns. 

Battling Pickens for touches at receiver will be Diontae Johnson, who led the Steelers in receiving yards in 2022, and Allen Robinson II, who signed with Pittsburgh this offseason after playing one season with the Los Angeles Rams.

The Steelers finished the 2022 season at 9-8, extending head coach Mike Tomlin’s streak of 16 seasons without a losing record. However, Pittsburgh missed the playoffs for the first time since 2019.
