Steelers' Mike Tomlin Addresses George Pickens Drama: 'It Is a Pebble in My Shoe'

It appears the drama involving Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens is a non-issue for head coach Mike Tomlin.

Tomlin said Tuesday when asked about coaching young players, including Pickens, through adversity, per NFL.com's Kevin Patra:

"Like breathing, it's easy. I know it's a cute story for you guys, but it is a pebble in my shoe, to be quite honest with you, in terms of the things that I have to do in an effort to get this group ready to play this week. Our focus is on the Green Bay Packers and what we're all going to do in this football game, and I can't state it any plainer than that.
