George Pickens will be the only rookie to start for the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday against the defending AFC Champion Cincinnati Bengals.
The former Georgia receiver is listed among some strong receivers. He could be a strong weapon for Mitch Trubisky this season.

Pickens was a force in college at Georgia. He was passed on by multiple teams needing a receiver in the 2022 NFL Draft, eventually going at No. at No. 52 overall to the Steelers in the second round.
He totaled over 1300 yards receiving and 14 touchdowns in just 24 games for the Bulldogs.
