Other NFL teams see the talent in Steelers WR George Pickens—but they also see Mike Tomlin’s struggles with him. One has to wonder how much other organizations take that into consideration. While the Steelers reportedly fielded phone calls about Pickens, they obviously didn’t move him, nor do they appear in a rush. Could that have to do with the level of interest they are hearing from other teams?
Tomlin is now the longest-tenured active coach in American professional sports, which carries a certain weight and credibility. NFL insider James Palmer acknowledged that “nobody’s better than Mike at handling situations” while discussing George Pickens on 93.
