Does every team get a guy hyped like Pickens?

Then runs backwards and drops passes at critical times.
Well, you know if you catch the ball in the end zone they don’t allow ya to jump back 3 yards before running back in to score, the ref just puts his hands up and signals a TD…what fun is that

Now I know why he drops em if he’s already in the EZ, he can’t execute his “DJ special” move

You’d still think he could run one in at some point in the season after catch and the obligatory “DJ special” then a bit of RAC
 
Hey SS & all,

Check this interview out & let the kid talk for himself...

I think he responded well...And Eisen tried to trip up the youngster a few times...

RICH EISEN SHOW LINK...Interview with Pickens on Ryan Clark comments
Like that Rich lights that rivalry fire under him, but shouldn’t the culture of the locker room make it OBVIOUSLY known the hatred that exists for Rats, Stains and Bungles…as long as a Rich is tryna make him better, I’m down tho
 
Pickens (and Pickett) don't have small hands. They have poor hand flexibility. Hands are measured from tip of thumb to tip of pinkie. I'm a musician so I can get them on a 180 angle plane, giving me an optimal hand measurement of 9.5 inches, though my hands are smaller than Pickett and Pickens hands, since they lack the need to have the flexibility i had to play instruments. Just remember, Pickens, pre draft, got an extra 1/4 inch from doing hand stretches. So hand size is more arbitrary to hand flexibility to this current measurement.

A true hand measurement for size should be the base of the palm to the tip of your longest finger. No stretching needed, and you'd get more consistent hand size numbers.

And if you think Pickens has small hands after seeing his one handed catches, then you can clearly see the metric is arbitrary.

I shook Pickett's hand. I have averaged sized hands and it was smaller than mine. It's really not a big deal because he can throw the ball and Pickens can catch it.

Cool, I'd love to shake his hand and see. I'd think his hands are bigger than mine or at least a similar size.
 
Stryker you peaked my curiosity
What Instruments/genres?
 
Its one thing to make circus catches, its another to dominate. He hasn't shown domination yet. He is extremely athletic and we can all hope with an improved line that will buy KP more time to get him the ball all over the field.
He has to have the ball thrown to him more to be as you day.....dominate. What he did last year with his opportunities was dominate. Hell.....he had half a dozen catches lost because either Tomlin or the replay booth(inside 2 minutes) didn't challenge or replay the catch. Again 2000 yards or bust this year. You better be listing Pickens!!!!.

College I formed an Alt Rock/funk band called the House Plants where I sang, then learned how to play guitar.

My Pop Punk band FaTKiD was signed in 2000 and we had some radio play.

Now I just write fun stuff, but I've written country, calypso, rock, jazz, rap. Just whatever I feel.

I played bass/backing vocals in an emo band September Playground and an aggressive female led rock band (like Evanessence).

Now I write songs for our D&D campaigns and play some Ren Fairs as a celtic bard.

Here's a fun channel to check out if you're interested in hearing some of my stuff: https://www.youtube.com/@nvrwuzmusic1265

I can also play some penny whistle, drums, harmonica, keyboard, and ukulele.

why no polkas
 
Pickens has the tools and athletic freakiness to be great. He has to pair that with work ethic and the right attitude. If he does, he can be as great as many are saying. The dude has unbelievable control of his body.
Mapletron II?

Mike Tomlin admires your positional versatility and would very much like you in his band😎

Liked the hat in your one performance. MTC can play the guitar too. Maybe one day he will sample you some of his solos.
