Without George Pickens, Former NFL O-Lineman Says Russell Wilson Must Be ‘Damn-Near Perfect’

George Pickens will officially not play against the Baltimore Ravens this week, and that’s an unfortunate update for the Pittsburgh Steelers. With Pickens out, their offense has been abysmal. That lack of explosiveness has robbed them of their teeth. Their other receivers can make plays, but no one is Pickens. Because of that, former NFL offensive lineman Kyle Long believes Russell Wilson will need to have perfect accuracy to give the Steelers a chance.

“Russell Wilson gives George Pickens a chance, and he could come down with the football,” Long said Thursday on his podcast, Pushing the Pile.
