One of former NFL defensive back Ryan Clark’s takes caused uproar among NFL fans on Wednesday after he said he thinks Steelers receiver George Pickens is “much more talented” than Vikings star Justin Jefferson.
So, it was only fitting that reporters asked the opinion of new Steelers cornerback Patrick Peterson, who is coming off of two seasons in Minnesota.
“I mean, I could see it,” Peterson said, via Pittsburgh Post Gazette’s Christopher Carter. “[Pickens] is very, very raw. He’s very unpredictable when the ball is coming his way as far as his catch ability. ... But, Justin is a savant of the position. Like, he’s really, really in tuned and how to manipulate the defensive back, how to set his routes up. He’s going into year four, [Pickens] is going into Year 2, there’s still some things he wants to get better at. But, the talent? I’ll probably have to agree with Ryan on that.”
