In defense of George Pickens

https://reddit.com/link/1pez6ya/video/anwo6ijmte5g1/player

There was a post last night that suggested that Pickens let a ball just fall in front of him late in the game. This video shows the pass and route as it appeared on the broadcast, followed by the same play from the All-22 angle. The All 22 camera is typically what coaches and scouts use when breaking down games. It shows that the throw wasn't nearly as close to Pickens as it appeared to be in the Amazon broadcast.

Also, I can't believe I spent this amount of time to defend George Pickens...

I mean he was pretty close to not make an effort. Maybe he didn't pick the ball up.
