Bengal of recent memory.
he wasnt much of a interview off the field. he lacked the charisma of Chad.
wasnt approachable as AJ.
but on the field he could flat out play the position.
darn good route runner. could really high point the ball.
super excellant at tracking the ball over his shoulder.
for 3 years he simply was the best WR in the AFC.
that year he had what...15 16 TDs was pure dominance.
Halfway through Pickens sophomore year at Tennessee, before he was a star at WR, the moved him to defense because of a rash of injuries. Despite only playing half the season at safety he led the team in interceptions and was the Defensive MVP of the Cotton Bowl. And these weren't garbage time stats. UT only lost one game and finished #5 in the country that year as Pickens scored tds by reception, interceptions return, and kick off return.
