Georgia receiver George Pickens was selected with the No. 52 overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft by the Pittsburg Steelers.
Pickens is one of the most prolific receivers in Georgia history. An ACL tear in the spring of 2021 caused the Hoover, Ala., native to miss most of the national championship season.
Pickens did play in the postseason and helped Georgia to its first national title in 41 years.

Rapper Drake cashed in on a $100K bet he made on USC’s Drake London to be the first receiver drafted on Thursday night.
The Falcons answered a lot of questions with their first-round selection of USC wide receiver Drake London on Thursday night.
Many teams viewed London as the top receiver in the class, so Atlanta was justified in selecting the 6-4 wideout eighth overall. However, the Falcons aren’t the only ones benefiting from the drafting London. Rapper Drake cashed in on a $100k bet he made that on the USC standout to be the first wide receiver selected in the draft.
The rapper won a total of $225,000 when London’s name was called on Thursday night. London’s selection came two spots higher than the next receiver taken off the board, Ohio State’s Garrett Wilson, at pick No. 10 to the Jets.
Why did Drake bet on a WR named Drake to be drafted first? Because it’s about the most Drake thing the Canadian rapper has ever done.
