Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens believes the team has everything it needs already.
PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers will figure out their wide receiver depth chart over training camp, but most of the positions are up for grabs. Reports and speculationThat doesn't concern their top receiver entering the season. George Pickens is expected to take on a huge offensive burden for the Steelers. The team traded away former number one receive Diontae Johnson, partially due to Johnson's attitude and wishes, but partially due to the superstar potential Pickens possesss.
That's probably why Pickens doesn't think the team requires additional help. He was asked following the second day of training camp about that subject, and he denied that there is a pressing need at receiver. He told Bryan DeArdo ofHe at least had the performance on the field to back it up. During the 7-on-7 part of the session, Pickens and quarterback Justin Fields connected a few times, once for a long scoring pass.
"It's always good to score," he said. "I'd probably say it felt good for the team. It's good team camaraderie, getting the team lit. Making plays is always fun." The Steelers are counting on that scoring to translate into the regular season. With no major moves on the horizon, Calvin Austin III, Van Jefferson, and Pat Freiermuth are attempting to fill the hole as the second pass-catching option. The team seems satisfied with the roster construction as it currently is., much to the dismay of trade enthusiasts.
