Peter King: George Pickens’ Antics, Effort ‘Absolutely, Totally Unacceptable’

For as talented as he is, Pittsburgh Steelers second-year wide receiver George Pickens seemingly can’t stay out of his own way.

Once again, Pickens made himself part of the discussion for all the wrong reasons. On Saturday against the Indianapolis Colts, Pickens didn’t block his man on a Jaylen Warren run, putting in very little effort and then stood around watching as his defender tackled Warren short of the goal line.

Later on in the game, Pickens had strange effort on a Mitch Trubisky interception, running the other direction from the defensive back that picked off the pass.
