‘Almost Like A One-Trick Pony:’ Former Exec Doug Whaley Wants To See More From George Pickens

If George Pickens is going to prove he’s the Pittsburgh Steelers’ long-term wide receiver, his game will have to substantially grow. Appearing on the 93.7 The Fan Wednesday morning, former Steelers executive Doug Whaley outlined his concerns with Pickens’ game.

“He’s not consistent,” Whaley told The Fan Morning Show. “Now, I hope he becomes consistent and I’m sure that he’s working well. They are working with him to try to be consistent. But to me, I still have to see him being able to run that full route tree. He is really right now almost like a one-trick pony, vertical cutting and vertical breaking routes.
