Apparently, Pickens had a better performance six times, according to his comments to reporters on Thursday.
“It’s probably seven,” Pickens said Thursday, according to Steelers.com’s Teresa Varley .
“UGA, real practice,” Pickens added of his time playing college ball for Georgia State. “One is on YouTube, you might see. A lot goes undiscovered.
” I was in college Made crazier catches in. When I caught the ball, my previous catches were crazier, so I knew I caught it. It’s just a fact that the world thinks. I saw their opinions on the internet. ” Brian Batko of Pittsburgh Post-Gazette found one of the catches mentioned by Pickens. Brian Batko @BrianBatko
