Steelers rookie wide receiver George Pickens has been the talk of training camp. His highlight reel catches and consistency have been lauded by players, coaches and beat writers. He had a better statistical game in Week 1 of preseason, but his snaps in Week 2 aren't going to slow the hype train down.
Here we'll take a look at the workload for Steelers rookie Pickens in Week 2 of the preseason and how he performed during his reps.
Week 2 stat line
Pickens caught his only two targets for a total of six yards.
How did Pickens perform in Week 2?
The good news and probably the only news worth much, is that Pickens was a full-fledged starter on the outside along with Diontae Johnson, while Chase Claypool worked out of the slot. He took a hard hit after a reception and held onto the ball as well.
