The fact there is now even more drama surrounding a Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver should come as no surprise. The Steelers have had their share of malcontents at the position over the years from guys like Antonio Brown and Chase Claypool and now you can add George Pickens to the list.
Pickens has had his share of on and off-field issues during his tenure in Pittsburgh and his latest go-round has him going full Marshawn Lynch when he spoke to the media on Friday. Pickens was asked about the comments from Cleveland Browns cornerback Greg Newsome calling Pickens a fake tough guy after their scrum on Thursday night after practice on Friday night and he went full Marshawn Lynch with his reply.

I know fans will find this funny because many consider Lynch such a likable guy but there’s nothing good about this for a team battling for a conference crown.
