Steelers’ George Pickens Gets Crucial Advise After Celebration Shocker

Amidst the dynamic and competitive atmosphere of the Pittsburgh Steelers wide receivers room, a recent drama has unfolded involving George Pickens. In the wake of a challenging performance, where he managed only two receptions for negative one yard in a game against the Tennessee Titans, Pickens’ evident frustration has taken center stage even though the team managed a 20-16 victory. He even let it out in the game at the end of the game. This was observed by some netizens on the internet.

After a rough game, Pickens also exhibited a self-absorbed attitude, refusing to congratulate Diontae Johnson for his touchdown moment. This discontentment after the rough game spilled over onto his Instagram account, where he’s made a statement by distancing himself from the Steelers. A move that includes removing all photos and changing his profile picture, leaving fans and followers speculating about the underlying reasons behind this unexpected change. But then, another Steelers’ WR came up with wise advice amid all the chaos.

George Pickens sulked and refused to celebrate his teammate’s TD

George Pickens, known for his remarkable ability to make acrobatic one-handed catches, encountered an unexpected challenge during the game. A minor misstep caused him to step out of bounds in a critical play where his contribution could have been game-changing. However, it’s important to consider that Kenny Pickett’s inconsistent accuracy, possibly influenced by a rib injury, played a substantial role in Pickens’ performance.

Still, his behavior was entirely unacceptable. In the wake of Diontae Johnson’s touchdown, reports suggest that George Pickens exhibited a self-absorbed attitude by sulking on the bench with a towel draped over his head. This display of frustration did not escape the notice of onlookers and insiders. Only served to intensify the existing tensions within the Steelers’ organization, creating a stir in the team’s dynamics. Many even tagged the WR as “selfish“.

Pickens recently wiped off Steelers from his social media after a disappointing performance. But again, his on-field act was addressed by Steelers legend Hines Ward, who tried to understand the situation of the young wide receiver.

Hines Ward gives crucial advice to Pickens 

Throughout his illustrious 14-year NFL career, Hines Ward embodied various titles, including Pro Bowler, Super Bowl champion, Super Bowl MVP, and the Pittsburgh Steelers’ all-time leader in catches, yards, and touchdowns. What set Ward apart was his selfless approach to the game, consistently putting the team’s success above personal achievements. Steelers #85 WR now wishes that George Pickens could adopt a similar team-first mindset, especially in light of Pickens’ recent social media actions.

Ward said, “George, he’s just young.” Then he talked about how he loves him as a receiver. However, there are some things he needs to learn as a teammate. He stated, “Sometimes, don’t can’t get all caught up in drinking the Kool-Aid and thinking that it’s all about you because football is a total team aspect. One person can’t win the Super Bowl by themselves. It takes a collective group of guys to come together, to be unselfish.” Ward wants Pickens to keep his team first.

But, as it turns out, Pickens must do it soon, otherwise it’d only hamper his team in the long run. What are your thoughts about this? Let us know in the comments section.
