The Pittsburgh Steelers are letting Russell Wilson cook, and consequently, George Pickens is eating more. Even if he doesn’t always manage to find his mouth with the fork. Ray Fittipaldo believes Wilson is an asset to the young wide receiver far more than just on the field. Pickens is getting more high-quality chances because of him, but it’s more than that.
“I think tremendously. I think Russell [Wilson] said after the game, he would talk to George [Pickens] during the week and get in his head before the game got there that he was gonna try to get him involved and he has to be patient”, Fittipaldo said on 93.
