Georgia football wide receiver George Pickens missed most of the season, but when he did step on the field for the last two games, he showed that he still has it.
One of the GOATs, Tom Brady, recognized his incredible talent and made Pickens one of the first wave of athletes to represent his new clothing brand.
Brady is the greatest quarterback of all time, and for him to pick Pickens as one of their first NIL players to deal with is incredible.
One can only assume the quarterback would love to see Pickens in a Bucs uniform whenever he decides to turn pro.
Since returning to the field, this deal has been Picken’s first NIL deal, and it’s a major one. Plus, who wouldn’t want to sign with a guy named Brady, you know, the one who has seven Super Bowl rings.
Georgia football receiver George Pickens rocks the NIL world and signs with the GOAT.
Pickens’ NIL deal includes name, image, and likeness portions and was one of 10 athletes, ranging from all sports, not just football, selected.
Brady’s brand launches on January 12, 2022, and Pickens is an excellent choice to represent their company.
While it’s crazy to think this is his first, but Pickens deserves this honor. He is a top-notch wide receiver who makes his presence known on the football field, reminding us of how Brady plays.

This deal is massive for Pickens and could set in motion more NIL deals.
It doesn’t matter if Georgia fans like Brady or not. They must support this young man because he deserves it.
He has done a ton for the team, regardless of whether he got hurt or not, so getting this kind of deal is a massive step in the right direction.
Brady seems like he wants to try and get his brand to mimic Michael Jordan’s, and well, from one GOAT to another, that is a reasonable goal to have.
Pickens will be under a brand that will help him mold into the player and man he wants to be.
Of course, he has head coach Kirby Smart and his receiving coaches helping him develop into that now, but Brady is a great mentor, and this is so awesome for him.
