Redundancy? Tomlin Brushes Aside Concerns Over Pickens, Metcalf’s Styles

After acquiring D.K. Metcalf, lots of questions began to arise about the potential fit with the Steelers. Specifically, when it pertains to George Pickens.

Both players rank about the top of the league in terms of being big, physical receivers who can threaten defenses vertically. Pickens does offer more in terms of contested catches, but overall they both like to win the same way with the same types of routes.

Mike Tomlin doesn’t see it that way. Per Dale Lolley of Steelers.com, Tomlin addressed the potential fit concerns with the two receivers, not seeming convinced that they are entirely the same.
