‘Wild Loose Cannon’ George Pickens Still ‘Worth More Than The Hassle’, Says Analyst

The Pittsburgh Steelers exploded on offense against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday in their 44-38 win. And WR George Pickens had three catches for 74 yards and one touchdown.

But Pickens was in the headlines for more than just big yardage and a touchdown. He wiped out 30 of his yards with two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties. Head coach Mike Tomlin was not thrilled with Pickens, saying that Pickens needs to mature quickly.

It’s nothing new with Pickens, unfortunately. He could have two highlight reels, one of his insane contested catches and one of his troubles.
