Fittipaldo: George Pickens ‘Visibly Upset’ After Exchange With WR Coach Zach Azzanni Late In Practice

A year ago, the Pittsburgh Steelers had issues with their wide receiver room. Both Diontae Johnson and George Pickens made headlines for all the wrong reasons over the final stretch of the season when their questionable effort was on display. Johnson watched as a fumble was picked up and returned without attempting to make a tackle. And Pickens made a business decision when he stepped out of what would have been a key block for RB Jaylen Warren near the end zone. Johnson was traded to the Panthers, which leaves Pickens as the most tenured receiver in the room for the Steelers.
