As you would expect, Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens signed off of the 2024 season on a rather compelling note in his post-game presser.
George Pickens will have to wait at least another year (likely longer) to experience his first NFL postseason win, as his Steelers were crushed 28-14 by the archrival Baltimore Ravens in Saturday’s Wild Card Round contest.
Pickens was one of the few positives for Pittsburgh, recording five receptions for 87 yards and a touchdown. But a non-existent ground game (29 yards on 11 carries) and a terrible performance by the T.J. Watt-led defense led to another miserable postseason defeat for Mike Tomlin’s squad.
Speaking to reporters after the game, George Pickens stated that he has “seen signs of growth” from the offense. But when he was asked if it makes him optimistic going forward, the third-year wideout dropped a bizarre one-word answer.
“Nah,” he said.

Steelers Need To Get George Pickens More Help

Once again, the lack of a No. 2 wide receiver was an issue for Pittsburgh’s offense this year. Blame the offensive line or Russell Wilson all you want, but the Steelers need to get another stud receiver to complement Pickens if their offense is to take another step forward.
