The Pittsburgh Steelers can see George Pickens becoming a true No. 1 receiver - if he puts the work in.
PITTSBURGH -- The talk of preseason workouts for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and much of the offseason following Diontae Johnson's departure, has been the search for a No. 2 wide receiver to pair with George Pickens. But that conversation was predicated upon one thing - Pickens improving on an outstanding 2023 campaign and becoming a bonafide No. 1 option.
“He can be, it’s right there for him," Azzanni said when asked if Pickens can be a true No. 1 receiver. "He’s just got to pick it up and take the cheese and do the things we ask him to do and he can do anything he wants." But to become an undeniable No. 1 option, someone the opposition can't shut down - or must devote arduous amounts of resources to stop - Pickens needs consistency and a finer handle on the details. The good news is that Azzanni said his work to this point in preseason workouts has been fantastic. He's responding to the lessons his new position coach is trying to impart and making an impression on his new quarterback, Russell Wilson, as well.
