Carl Pickens

And only Mark Andrews and Travis Kelsey have had longer touchdown streaks among tight ends over the last 10 seasons.

And in Bengals history, only Carl Pickens, A.J. Green, and T.J. Huzmanzada have recorded longer consecutive game touchdown streaks.

So Gusecki's been one of Burrow's most reliable and consistent targets.

and has really been the third receiving option for the Bengals, with obviously Jamar Chase and Tee Higgins being number one.

It's toothless.

And I wish Lucho, that whoever works with Roman to get the leg strength up a little bit also works with someone taking set pieces for this team because I am sick of seeing every corner of the other team kicks look scary and our corner kicks look like they're Jeff Blake throwing to Carl Pickens from back in the 90s.

I don't understand the looping ball into the box.

The goalie is not usually a very short guy, but with his arms in the air, becomes one of the tallest guys on planet Earth.

all that.

As long as you didn't say Carl Pickens, we're good at that.

Carl Pickens will not make this list.

Let me ask you this.

Yes, sure, sure.

But I just remember Coach Majors sharing a couple of stories like that because you never know what it reveals.

But if there is, once again, an area of need, that's how you wind up with Carl Pickens playing not only at receiver but also helping out in the secondary to where he was the defensive player of the game for the Cotton Bowl in a victory for the Vols against Arkansas way back when.

Tennessee probably focusing on Tennessee and then at the same time starting to sprinkle in what their approach is going to be or the film study on their next opponent, which is Kentucky, coming up one week from Saturday.

As far as the Lady Vols, they outscored Florida A&M 132-63 as they claimed easily the exhibition on their schedule.

Whether it's yards in a season, obviously.

Touchdowns he tied Carl Pickens a few years ago.

Won the Triple Crown in 2024.

But look, 81 receptions as a rookie.

And so far this season, with a healthy Joe Burrow, 10.7 yards per catch.

Very possession receiver-esque.

And that doesn't compare to the Chad Johnsons or the A.J. Greens or the Carl Pickens, but more so the T.J. Hushmanzadis.

Chad Johnson averaged 14.4 yards per catch, 14.9 in his prime.

They had Andy Kellett, quarterback.

Carl Pickens was a wide receiver that was unbelievable.

Alvin Harper.

They had a couple offensive linemen that were first-round picks.

They had players loaded all over the field, Ryan.

They had great wide receiver, Carl Pickens, Alvin Harper.

Those guys, I mean, all of those guys were outstanding professional players.

They didn't even score a touchdown.

Isaac Curtis, Isaac Curtis is always in the...

Carl Pickens, even though I don't like Carl Pickens.

Carl Pickens is always in that conversation.

Yeah.

And, and you-
