George Pickens has been criticized as moody and volatile, unwilling to listen to those around him. But former Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Bryant McFadden painted a different picture, citing conversations with cousin and ex-Steeler Patrick Peterson that highlighted Pickens ability to be mentored.
“And I can talk about what my cousin Patrick Peterson said about George Pickens when he was there, is he had real good dialogue with George Pickens,” McFadden told 93.7 The Fan Friday. “And he said George Pickens was the person that wanted to learn.”
Peterson and Pickens were teammates for the 2023 season, the lone year Peterson was a Steeler before being cut.
