Former Steelers star wide receiver goes off for huge game with Cowboys

Former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens had a huge game with the Dallas Cowboys in relief of injured star receiver CeeDee Lamb. Pickens had 134 receiving yards and two touchdowns in the game, though former Steelers wide receiver Patrick Peterson says the team will not miss him.

“No. Because they’ve got a guy in DK Metcalf that can do just as more as George,” Peterson said . “DK Metcalf, you can move him around in an offensive scheme a little bit more, to where when George was there, he was primarily just an ‘X’ receiver. So you can game plan a little bit more with DK Metcalf versus George Pickens.

The second-round pick of the Steelers in the 2022 NFL Draft, both he and Kenny Pickett, the team’s first two picks from that draft, never finished their rookie contracts
