Steelers coach Mike Tomlin once referred to receiver George Pickens’s behavior as a “pebble in my shoe.” Now that the shoe has been removed and the pebble has been shaken out, Tomlin has slipped the sneaker back on his foot and walked away.
Case in point — during Tomlin’s first visit with reporters after Pickens was traded to Dallas for a 2026 third-round pick and a late-round swap of selections, Tomlin had nothing to say about the situation.
“You know, I’m not gonna add any color to it other than what [G.M.] Omar [Khan] told you guys yesterday,” Tomlin said Saturday.
