Steelers Checklist for George Pickens to be Better Deep Ball Threat | Special Teams Camp Battles

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Jeff Hathhorn of 93.7 the Fan. The Pittsburgh Steelers are looking for George Pickens to take a step up in his second year as a wide receiver, especially as a deep ball threat for Kenny Pickett. But to get there, there's a checklist of objectives he must accomplish to avoid a similar drop-off as what happened to Chase Claypool. Comparing his stats to Claypool, Diontae Johnson, James Washington and JuJu Smith-Schuster show a trajectory to expect of Pickens in his second year compared to other recent Steelers receivers who were picked on the second day of the NFL Draft. Also, a caller asks about the status of Chris Boswell, Pressley Harvin II and who will win the special teams returner jobs. Chris Carter and Jeff Hathhorn give their takes on how special teams battles will play out in training camp.
