When the Pittsburgh Steelers traded George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys this offseason, no one questioned that he had the talent necessary to be a dominant wide receiver. The off-the-field antics seemed to overshadow the obvious physical abilities in the Steelers’ decision to move on. Now, Pickens is thriving in Dallas. In twelve games with the Cowboys, George Pickens has more receptions, yards, and touchdowns than he did in any of his three full seasons in Pittsburgh.
This success away from Pittsburgh has led many to wonder if the Steelers made a mistake by moving on from Pickens.
