George Pickens has channeled his inner Odell Beckham Jr. yet again … this time, making a sick one-handed catch over his teammate during a training camp practice Tuesday.
The grab went down in 1-on-1 drills … when the Steelers wideout was lined up against the team’s second-round draft pick, Joey Porter Jr.
INSSSSSSAAAANNNNNNNE!!!!

You can see footage shot by a fan in the stands at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, JPJ actually had some good coverage as quarterback Kenny Pickett was looking to deliver the football … but, check out the clip, that clearly didn’t matter to Pickens.
The former Georgia star jumped into the air, stuck out his right hand … and somehow corralled the ball above Porter Jr.’s head.
When he crashed down to the turf with the pigskin safely secured — even he had to take a minute to celebrate, taunting Porter Jr. by giving him the rock, before his teammates raced in to show him some love.
Of course, Pickens is no stranger to insane catches … last season, he had arguably the reception of the year when he hauled in a wild one-hander against the Cleveland Browns.
Are you serious, George Pickens? What a one-handed grab!#PITvsCLE on Prime Video

Regular season is still a month away … but George is apparently more than ready for it already.
