Plaxico Burress Believes George Pickens Is Better WR Than DK Metcalf

General manager Omar Khan and the Pittsburgh Steelers have been busy this offseason. Still waiting on an upgrade at quarterback, they’ve made several moves to improve the rest of the roster. Their biggest move was trading their second-round pick for receiver DK Metcalf, seemingly creating a bona fide number one to pair with George Pickens. However, that duo won’t play together for the Steelers. Pickens has been traded to the Dallas Cowboys, and former Steelers receiver Plaxico Burress thinks Pittsburgh kept the worse receiver.

“How this hurts the Pittsburgh Steelers, they didn’t get any better,” Burress said recently on his podcast, Up on Game.
