Although it may be too early to tell, the Pittsburgh Steelers seem to have found yet another stud wide receiver in former Georgia Bulldog star George Pickens.
The 21-year-old wideout has shown flashes of greatness during training camp which has translated well to his first preseason game. The 6-foot-3, 200-pounder caught three passes for 43 yards while connecting with Mason Rudolph on a touchdown late in the first quarter.
After catching his first TD in the NFL, Pickens decided to pay homage to Antonio Brown by hitting the controversial wideout's viral dance during his celebration in the endzone.
Seeing Pickens' TD celebration, Brown himself responded on Twitter by giving his stamp of approval.
When asked about why hit AB's dance following the Steelers' 32-25 victory over the Seahawks Sunday, Pickens claims the celebration wasn’t predetermined but when he caught the TD and was thinking about what to do, Brown's viral dance was the first thing that came into his mind at the moment.
Brown's weird, yet funny dance originally went viral across social media after his performance at a music festival in Miami called "Rolling Loud."
Pickens surely won't be the last player to hit the dance this season as many notable players across the league have already done so in training camp -- including Jaylen Waddle, Tyreek Hill, Saquon Barkley and fellow rookie Wan'Dale Robinson.
