Steelers running back Jaylen Warren told reporters Wednesday that he would have put his body on the line to block for George Pickens, despite the wide receiver failing to do so for him in Pittsburgh’s 30–13 loss to the Colts on Saturday.
“It is what it is,” Warren said, per Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. “At the end of the day, [Pickens] was doing what he thought was best for him. Some people play the game differently. If I was in that position, I would have blocked for him. But we play differently.”
Pickens previously said he didn’t block for Warren because he didn’t want to risk getting “injured” and being in a similar situation to Texans wide receiver Tank Dell, who suffered a season-ending leg injury while blocking in Week 13.
