Third-year wide receiver George Pickens finds himself under an unnecessary spotlight once again due to his behavior on the field and a specific message written across the eye black on his face from Sunday Night Football’s loss to the Dallas Cowboys.
So much so, that Steelers’ head coach Mike Tomlin had to address the situation Tuesday during his session with the media.
After stating following the loss that the Steelers were limited Pickens’ snaps against the Cowboys in an effort to get more high-quality reps out of the receiver, Tomlin again pushed that message stating that he had no issues whatsoever with Pickens’ effort against the Cowboys, but added that he was unaware of any message Pickens had written across his eye black, and stated that he addressed the behavior post-game involving Cowboys’ cornerback Jourdan Lewis behind closed doors.
