For Merril Hoge, Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens has all the physical talent in the world. But mentally, he isn’t showing what it takes to become a true superstar. Joining 102.5 WDVE Wednesday morning, Hoge questioned if Pickens will ever put it together.
“What he is lacking is that tool we all have that operates everything,” Hoge told the DVE Morning Show with Randy Baumann. “And that is your mind and his thought process and his work ethic and his professional commitment, being a pro. He’s not there yet from a mental perspective.”
Pickens is again in local headlines for his actions late in the Steelers’ loss to the Cleveland Browns last Thursday.
