Hines Ward Offers Advice To George Pickens To Keep Things In Perspective: ‘It’s Not About You’

Pittsburgh Steelers second-year wide receiver George Pickens caused quite a stir Friday afternoon and Saturday morning with some of his posts on social media coming out of the Steelers’ 20-16 win over the Tennessee Titans on Thursday Night Football.

Pickens, who had just two catches for -1 yards in the four-point win, was rather upset on the sideline during the game and had some tough body language to watch at times. Then, on Friday, Pickens deleted all of his Instagram posts and changed his profile picture to one non-Steelers related while sharing a post to his story, writing “free me” after the quiet showing — his second straight since the return of standout wide receiver Diontae Johnson.
