George Pickens Leads Amid Steelers Roster Changes

The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed wide receiver Tarik Black to fill in for injured rookie Roman Wilson, who is expected to recover by the start of the season. George Pickens is emerging as a leader for the Steelers in his third season, having presented a Make-A-Wish recipient with season tickets and emphasizing team goals over individual accolades. Despite his talent and strong performance last season, where he had 1,140 yards and five touchdowns, Pickens remains underrated in discussions of top NFL wideouts. The Steelers, who have undergone significant roster changes and have new quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Justin Fields, are aiming to recapture their past success and become Super Bowl contenders. Coach Mike Tomlin has expressed a desire for Pickens to show his talent consistently, and Pickens himself is focused on helping the team succeed while striving to be recognized as one of the best receivers in the league.
