Will George Pickens Sink Or Swim Under Zach Azzanni’s Hard Coaching?

Will George Pickens sink or swim under Zach Azzanni’s hard coaching?

The Pittsburgh Steelers expect a lot out of WR George Pickens—which may be why Zach Azzanni is here. They parted with former wide receivers coach Frisman Jackson this offseason, replacing him with the more disciplinarian Azzanni. We are already seeing the differences in the way Jackson and Azzanni coached, but how will Pickens respond?

This is not the first time that the Steelers have made a similar change at wide receivers coach. Although they lost Scotty Montgomery to another opportunity, to reel in the Young Money Crew, Mike Tomlin brought in the old-school disciplinarian, Richard Mann, followed by Darryl Drake.
