Houston Texans defensive coordinator Matt Burke was not shy in his praise for Pittsburgh Steelers receiver George Pickens.
In doing so, they’ll be tasked with stopping a Steelers offense that hasn’t exactly lived up to expectations. Despite an unblemished preseason and a summer’s worth of hype, quarterback Kenny Pickett has struggled in 2023, to the tune of a 59.6% completion percentage, 689 yards, four touchdowns, and three interceptions.
Receiver George Pickens is having an encouraging start to his sophomore season, logging 238 yards on just 13 catches. His blend of size in speed makes him a big play threat from anywhere on the field.“Dynamic player, really good at the catch point,” Burke said. “I would say that is one of his specialties.”
“I know this might be blasphemy a little,” Burke continued. “But he reminds me a little bit of DHop [DeAndre Hopkins] in that sense, just put the ball up to him and they trust that he can get it.” If not for an ACL tear, Pickens very well could have been a first-round pick. A five-star recruit, talent was never the issue. Now, he’s posing a consistent threat to corners who live in fear of getting beat deep.
