Bruce Pickens (born May 9, 1968) is a former professional American football cornerback who played four seasons in the National Football League (NFL) for the Atlanta Falcons, Green Bay Packers, Kansas City Chiefs, and Oakland Raiders. He was drafted in the first round with the third overall pick in the 1991 NFL Draft.[1]

A New York Times pre-draft assessment of the 5-10, 192 lb. cornerback that ran a 4.48: "A junior-college transfer who hasn't been exposed to top passing offenses and is somewhat raw in overall development but has the best physical skill of the DBs this year. Very athletic."[2]
