ATHENS - One of Georgia’s top offensive playmakers, wide receiver George Pickens, has made his decision to skip his senior season and enter his name into the 2022 NFL Draft, according to his personal Instagram page.
Pickens came to Georgia as a consensus five-star wide receiver from Hoover High School in Alabama who chose the Bulldogs over Auburn on Signing Day of February 2019. He ended his career with a massive 51-yard reception in the first half of Georgia’s 33-18 win over No. 1 Alabama in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game in Indianapolis.

He quickly turned into one of the top receivers in college football and has a very bright future in the NFL due to his size, ball skills, and ability to create separation.
Pickens was ranked as the No. 4 WR prospect in the country and the No. 24 overall prospect in the country for the 2019 class.
As a freshman in 2019, Pickens Coaches’ Freshman All-SEC Team with 49 catches for 727 yards and 8 touchdowns, each leading the team.

Pickens would end the season with four receptions and two big catches against Alabama and Michigan.
