George Pickens says he was open “90 percent of the time”

Written by Tony Ghaul

Steelers rookie WR George Pickens has been targeted six times in two games. He says he was open 90 percent of the time against the Patriots. He was the star of training and the preseason, but has yet to make a impact in the first two games.

“I just say that because I’m a big guy that runs in the low 4.4s,” Pickens said. “I always have a step on somebody and my step is naturally longer than the other person, and I’m actually fast.”

It’s never a good sign for a struggling offense and QB, when a WR is griping about not being involved.
