When the Pittsburgh Steelers traded for wide receiver DK Metcalf in March, it seemed the offense was poised to have one of the NFL’s most dangerous combinations at the position. George Pickens and Metcalf as two talented downfield playmakers that would force how defenses played Pittsburgh. That thought lasted only two months when Pittsburgh traded Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys for a future draft pick, leaving open questions over who would fill Pickens’ shoes. And leaving Metcalf lamenting over the chance to play with him.
“I would’ve loved to play with George Pickens,” he said via video from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
