Pittsburgh Steelers second-year wide receiver George Pickens continues to be the center of attention for some negative reasons right now in the Steelers’ landscape. That’s because of his sideline antics against the Tennessee Titans, and then his social media posts last Friday that caused quite a stir.
Though he downplayed the posts as nothing to do with football, and head coach Mike Tomlin downplayed the frustrations and emotions from his young receiver, Pickens continues to be under the spotlight when it comes to media discourse surrounding the young player.
That continued Thursday when “Green Light Pod” host and former NFL defensive end Chris Long raised some eyebrows with the situation, calling Pickens a Hall of Fame talent, and that it’s “malpractice” Pickens is in this type of offense in Pittsburgh.
