Pittsburgh Steelers WR George Pickens has developed two reputations in his two seasons in the NFL. One is that he is developing a bad reputation. Whether you believe he deserves it or not, he certainly hasn’t helped himself in that regard. The biggest example was against the Indianapolis Colts in 2023, when he appeared to give up on a goal-line run play. If he had delivered an impactful block, RB Jaylen Warren could have scored. Instead, Warren was tackled short of the goal line.
And then, on the first day of training camp, Pickens reportedly was visibly upset with wide receivers coach Zach Azzanni.
