Back on November 10, former NFL defensive end Chris Long, during an appearance on his popular podcast “Green Light” on YouTube, stated that he believed second-year Pittsburgh Steelers’ wide receiver George Pickens had Hall of Fame talent at the wide receiver position.
Of course, those comments from Long came after yet another frustrated outburst from Pickens on the sideline and on social media after the Week Nine win over the Tennessee Titans.
Quite a bit has transpired since then with Pickens, including his lack of effort on a run play near the goal line that he stated he was trying to avoid injury on, which led to head coach Mike Tomlin needing to address the media for a second time last week leading up to the Week 16 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.
