Pittsburgh Steelers rookie wide receiver George Pickens made his NFL preseason debut Saturday night against Seattle Seahawks and the former University of Georgia star looked pretty darn good, catching three passes for 43 yards and a touchdown.
The Steelers are starting a new era now that Ben Roethlisberger has retired and Pickens figures to be a huge part of of Pittsburgh’s offense, which currently has three QBs fighting it out for the No. 1 job.
Pickens hauled in a very nice 26-yard pass from Mason Rudolph for his first TD and then the WR celebrated it by breaking out Antonio Brown’s dance.

Here was Brown, who once starred for the Steelers, doing that dance at a concert this summer:
