The verbal spat between Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens and new position coach Zach Azzanni certainly started training camp at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe with a bang.
Pickens, who had some attitude and effort issues in 2023, reportedly didn’t do a drill properly which led to Azzanni — a hard-nosed, demanding coach — to fire away at him, which apparently led to a heated argument in which Pickens needed to be calmed down by fellow receivers.
That argument has dominated the discussion at times coming out of training camp in recent days, but that incident isn’t a big deal from Pickens’ vantage point, nor is Azzanni’s new coaching style that he might have to adjust to.
