VIDEO: Steelers WR George Pickens Mosses Joey Porter Jr. With All-Time Great Catch
George Pickens is looking like one of the more exciting wide receivers in the NFL coming into the 2023 season.
On Tuesday, Pickens flashed his insane ability for acrobatic one-handed catches.
Training camp part aside, Pickens had one of the best football catches ever made.
Lined up against rookie Joey Porter, Jr. — son of the Pittsburgh great — Pickens ran down the sideline, stopped on a dime to get some separation from Porter and went over the top of his defender (on an overthrow) to nab the one-handed catch.
Incredible stuff!

In his rookie campaign, Pickens logged 52 catches for 801 receiving yards and four touchdowns.
With a year of development now in play for both Pickens and second-year quarterback, Kenny Pickett, the Steelers could witness the beginning of the next great QB-WR duo in Steel City in 2023.
