Pickens was just an incredible athlete.
His sophomore season in college they moved him from WR to safety in the middle of the season. He ended up leading the team in interceptions and winning the Defensive MVP in the Cotton Bowl. And Tennessee was a top 5 team that year.
I think he still holds the Bengal record for longest PR (95 yds), and in college he scored tds on receptions, punt returns, kick returns and interception returns.
From 94-96 he averaged over 90 receptions per year racking up 3540 receiving yards and 40 td for the Bengals.
