George Pickens officially introduced himself to the NFL last season, eclipsing 1,100 yards to go along with five touchdowns. With Dionate Johnson sidelined for a chunk of the season, Pickens took a leap in his development. According to Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox, we should expect another this season.
In a recent article, Knox listed six breakout stars from 2023 who are poised to take another jump this season. Pickens found himself on the list, noting the stabilization at quarterback being a major factor.
“Despite getting some very inconsistent quarterback play out of Kenny Pickett and Mason Rudolph, Pickens exploded with a 63-catch, 1,140-yard, five-touchdown season,” Knox wrote.
