The Pittsburgh Steelers swapped out George Pickens for DK Metcalf, and Ray Fittipaldo believes they are better off for it. They should be, after all, since they paid more for Metcalf than they received for Pickens. But while off-field issues may have precipitated the Pickens trade, it’s on the field where they will benefit, he says.
“Being that quarterback’s best friend, being in the right place at the right time. We all know that didn’t always happen with George Pickens”, Fittipaldo said, contrasting him with DK Metcalf, on the North Shore Drive podcast.
“Yeah, George can certainly provide some big plays on occasion for you, but it was never really consistent with him”, he added of Pickens.
