Should George Pickens not play tomorrow for the Steelers, it certainly won’t be by his decision. He clearly wants to play—has wanted to play for weeks. And from the looks of it, he appears healthy enough to play. He knows, however, that it’s not his decision.
“I feel good, but who makes the decisions is the coaches and the doctors”, Pickens told Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. He and other reporters have described him moving around well, as personal anecdotes. “Whatever they tell me to do, I’m doing”.
Not only does Pickens feel like he can play, he also feels like he can give the Steelers a full game.
