Week 3 of the NFL season features a Thursday Night matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cleveland Browns in an AFC North showdown, and one of the best plays of the night happened in the first quarter when George Pickens made an Odell-Beckham-esque catch.

Trubisky connected with Pickens on a deep ball on the sideline where rookie wide receiver stretched out his right arm, came down with the ball and controlled it as his shoulder/arm hit the ground for an insane one-handed catch.

NFL fans were in awe and compared his catch to Odell Beckham Jr.'s insane one-hand catch that made him famous.

While Pickens has always been a first-round talent, he slid to the second-round in the 2022 NFL draft due to concerns about his behavior.

Nevertheless, the Pittsburgh Steelers took a chance on the Georgia receiver and drafted him with the 52nd pick in the 2022 NFL draft.

At Georgia, he recorded 90 receptions for 1,347 yards and 14 touchdowns in 24 games played. Many think he's the next young Steelers receiver to develop in their system, much like Antonio Brown, Juju Smith-Schuster and Chase Claypool.

In the pre-season, he had a few highlight-reel plays. Against the Seahawks, he pancaked over a defender that went virtual with a toe-tapping touchdown catch in the corner of the endzone.

Tonight, he had one of the best catches of the season and showed his potential on a jaw-dropping catch.
