Steelers wide receiver George Pickens doesn’t seem to be happy after the Steelers victory against the Tennessee Titans last night.
The Athletic’s Steelers insider Mark Kaboly said on 93.7 The Fan Friday that he was the first person to leave the field, first player to leave the locker room and didn’t talk to anyone after the game.
“He didn’t want nothing to do with talking to anybody, he was not happy,” said Kaboly.
Pickens has minus one yard on two catches and five targets.
He also caught a touchdown pass but it turned out he couldn’t keep his one-foot in.
After Diontae Johnson scored the go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter, Pickens wasn’t seen celebrating with his teammates.
He was seen around that time on the bench with his hands on his head and offense coordinator Matt Canada came over a few times to try to console him.
That apparent frustration carried over to the day after.
Pickens has appeared to eliminate all reference to the Steelers on his Instagram profile.
He also posted “Free Me” in one of his Instagram stories.
In the loss to Jacksonville, Pickens has one catch for 22 yards, but it was a touchdown.
Mike Tomlin had dealt with diva wide receivers in the past, so we’ll see what happens.
Stay tuned.
