Schefter: Steelers Viewed George Pickens As ‘Most Talented’ WR In NFL, But Attitude Issues Led To Trade

In three seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers, George Pickens made numerous highlight plays. Pickens’ ability to contort his body and track down the ball in the air is incredible. However, the Steelers traded him this offseason to the Dallas Cowboys. According to ESPN insider Adam Schefter, the Steelers held a high opinion of Pickens, but the negatives eventually outweighed the positives with him.

“When I spoke to people in Pittsburgh, the thing that always came back to me about George Pickens is he is the most talented wide receiver in the game,” Schefter said Wednesday on 105.
