Pickett took the starting SAM linebacker spot at the start of the season and helped the Als find their way through a slow start to the season that resulted in the team’s first Eastern Final appearance since 2014. His Week 19 touchdown against the Ottawa REDBLACKS was a season highlight.
The UCLA alum has 96 tackles, 19 on special teams, five sacks, two interceptions, three forced fumbles and a touchdown through 30 career games with the Alouettes.
