SAD NEWS: The Pittsburgh Steelers’ wide receiver George Pickens is leaving because of..
George Pickens will need to mature swiftly in the upcoming months if he is to be the starting wide receiver for the revamped Pittsburgh Steelers offense this season.
For football fans who were eager to watch their team play the first Sunday after the Super Bowl concluded, five months seems like an eternity. However, it might not be long enough for a guy who has repeatedly shown signs of immaturity.
When the Steelers selected Pickens in the draft, they were fully aware of his record. Character issues are one of the reasons he dropped into their lap at No. 52.
Pickens is a ballplayer, just like any other. He acts out when he doesn’t get it, much like some receivers do. Russell Wilson will likely give him the most attention if he is ranked first on the depth chart. Everyone will be watching him to see how he responds when he doesn’t. The Steelers will want to trade Pickens as soon as possible and let another team handle his shenanigans if 2023 is anything like that year.
