George Pickens seemingly made highlight reel catches every day during Pittsburgh Steelers training camp.
And while he started the preseason off with a bang, he had yet to really show off his acrobatic ability.
Until tonight that is:
This is almost to be expected from Pickens at this point, but it still never gets old. The brief pause between the time the ball leaves the hands of Kenny Pickett and touches the gloves of George Pickens seems like an eternity, as you just anxiously await Pickens to make another highlight-worthy grab.
And while he didn't strike paydirt on that play, it set the Steelers and Najee Harris up in an advantageous situation:
Pittsburgh would then force a three and out on Atlanta, getting the ball back and finishing with another TD, this time by way of Jaylen Warren's rush for six, set up nicely by a Calvin Austin III punt return.
Still undefeated in their ability to score when on the field, Pittsburgh's first-team offense has hit their stride this preseason.
Let's see if it continues in Week 1 vs. the 49ers.
