ATHENS — George Pickens landed in the Steel City ready to fortify one of the NFL’s proudest and most accomplished franchises in Pittsburgh.

Atlanta should have went defense with their first pick and pick up George Pickens with their second round at 38. But that’s all hindsight now, hope GP balls out and Drake London balls out.
I’ll fondly remember Pickens greatest play which was against GT several years ago in Atlanta. One of the “bugs” took a cheap shot on him (out of bounds) and Pickens retaliated by ramming the Techie into the stadium wall. Of course the guy who threw the last punch was penalized/ejected and missed the rest of that game and the 1st half of the SEC CG. Oh well, I don’t think him missing 30 minutes against LSU was the reason we lost……give the Tigers credit where credit is due. Go Dawgs and good luck George.
gp=dgd!
So glad you chose UGA. BEst wishes to your future. COme back and be a part of the gang on the sidelines in the fall whenever you can,
Wish George nothing but luck up there in Pittsburgh. Hopefully he gels well with the rest of the WRs and he gets to ball out like we know he can.
Side note: Glad he didn't end up at in Atlanta. Atlanta is the biggest joke of a franchise in the NFL. Should've taken a defender round 1 obviously. Or at least a more proven WR. Then to pick a LB from out in the middle of nowhere, over Dean by the way, shows the lack of brains in their front office. We had a historic defense, and Atlanta picks from our middle of the road offense.
