Idk, I'd be pretty stunned if he got to Pickens' level. Pickens was plagued by injury so he may not have been the stat stuffer as some other guys but when healthy and playing he was in that elite category of guys that do things you can't teach. AD is really good at pretty much everythign but he doesn't have anything he does at an off the charts elite level like pickens did.

Pickens healthy was as close to Aj Green as I’ve seen in a long time at UGA but that TD catch AD caught in the natty was Pickens esque… so I think Pickens type hype for AD wouldn’t be to hard to say

In fairness, Pickens off the charts ability was making "impossible" catches. He probably made 5-6 of those while at Georgia. I'll take the WR that is on the field more and makes more routine catches regularly.

That said, the defense had to adjust whenever Pickens was in the game. I'm pretty excited about Mitchell, McConkey and the new guys we are getting in this year. I think they can be special as a unit.
