From the episode
George Pickens going up and getting that play action deep shot off his back shoulder...the verticality he gives the offense is so necessary that the offense just feels so much different when they're willing to push the ball down the field, when he's creating some of that vertical stretch.
STACKED’s take
Positive signalRole
Pickens' vertical stretch creates critical spacing for Steelers receivers despite low target volume.
Pickens provides essential vertical stretch to the Steelers offense despite not being heavily targeted; his ability to create separation deep and take defenders vertically opens up underneath routes for other receivers. On one third-quarter play, Pickens ran vertical while CeeDee Lamb ran a crosser, forcing Stingley to pass him off and creating space for Lamb; Pickens also drew two penalties from Stingley on the same drive. His verticality is necessary for the offense to function at its best.
