Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens is a rising star among the league's receivers.

But he's not quite ready to rank himself as one of the five greatest of all-time.

[{"selector":"#anim-0dc6d728-f273-4b3b-96e4-d4001d0f2e56 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(30.093053223154463%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9a169d3c-d032-417a-9760-901a689a7208","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-102.28427%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-027eacee-9251-460f-9ef5-3fb90b81741f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3b71474a-7de1-42d2-a2bf-9ee9ed2ba2be","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] Image Credit:- Google Learn more

Appearing on the All Things Covered podcast, Pickens ranked his five greatest receivers of all-time.

[{"selector":"#anim-933e8e4e-e261-4c52-86b6-0b674b8eef5a [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(34.179687404002955%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-44305ec4-8480-4997-8a9f-cb92aa7c05e8","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-102.28427%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-553f279f-53b0-4084-bb65-ae572e6e3a7f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-015aa9b6-4965-4b2a-bff4-a4b65597f336","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] Image Credit:- Google Learn more

There's a few familiar faces along with one that Pickens feels was a personal choice.

[{"selector":"#anim-dcf6d7b4-99a9-42f4-8306-3fc56a4e870a [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(30.312499880537015%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-52e26bf9-98c0-4224-aa21-3d2b5fccf5f4","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-102.28427%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-11cfba82-ae23-4283-964a-70e2c74de730","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-58f66851-2447-4843-a8b0-55867b81fd42","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] Image Credit:- Google Learn more

Taking the top spot is Calvin Johnson, followed by Randy Moss, Jerry Rice, Julio Jones and finally Michael Crabtree.

[{"selector":"#anim-aa068742-91ff-464c-b257-4156855d8f5b [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(29.901207445305417%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-48dddc3e-506e-4ad8-970a-12fd0a39f4f8","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-102.28427%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5db12ba9-ff78-4705-b661-62c7561ba370","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b3f50933-fb3f-404b-aa01-1bc22a524d73","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] Image Credit:- Google Learn more

Having Crabtree on the list is pretty wild,

[{"selector":"#anim-93f3ca59-6ffa-4780-88d1-8adbbd67d1d6 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(35.731048514024515%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e688f0a8-97bb-4ba2-aa12-76ef82934df6","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-102.28427%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cd94c34a-196f-46b7-93af-6fc00c4deb06","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b1394d47-497b-46c3-baf3-9ac82d2da94b","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] Image Credit:- Google Learn more

but at least Pickens admitted that it was just because Crabtree was a personal pick as opposed to trying to make an argument for him.

As for Johnson, Moss, Rice and Julio, at least several of those four appear on just about every list of greatest wide receivers.
