George Pickens and the Pittsburgh Steelers are in Ohio to take on their AFC North foe, the Cleveland Browns, on Amazon’s “Thursday Night Football”.
The rookie from Georgia, taken by the Steelers in the 2nd round, hasn’t had a great deal of catches in his brief NFL career. On Thursday, though, he made an unbelievable one-handed catch on a throw by Pittsburgh quarterback Mitchell Trubisky.
Take a look and see for yourself. This is an early candidate for catch of the year in the NFL and will no doubt be on highlight reels for a while:

Pickens entered the night with just 2 catches for 26 yards through the first 2 games of the season. If he can make grabs like the one he did against the Browns, he’ll definitely get more opportunities in Mike Tomlin’s offense.
